Did you get all those myths from some Cracker Jack box, or did you just make them up off the top of your head? Overpriced union labor in 1837? High tariffs on goods "from" southern ports? Just --- WOW?
Do you know that the tariff rate in 1860 was the lowest in our history at that point in time? Did you know that both Massachusetts and South Carolina representatives in congress voted for those rates? Do you even understand what a tariff is?
The tariff excuse of secession is a myth my friend. Read some history. Read what they said at the time, not what some Libertarian nutbag at Lou Rockwell.com says.
I don’t have to read what someone else did...I went out and got the facts myself and have written extensively on what I’ve found.
And if you too can’t or won’t do that, then there’s no sense in having a discussion with you since you want to stay deluded and mired into false flags.
Yes, UNIONS, there were UNIONS in the north as far back as 1826. And YES, I know they had lowered the tariffs in an attempt to win back the south, but by that time they were just a little TOO LATE! Nobody was buying their BS! And NO, it’s not a myth, much to your chagrin, of course. I’d be willing to bet you never read a blasted thing about what lead up to the civil war and barely know what you’re talking about.
Hell, not even the Lew Rockwell people blame organized labor for the Panic of 1837.
