Contrary to the article, the PREFERRED name for the “Civil War” is actually “The War of Northern Agression”. I think is WAS over State’s rights, AND the hyysterical drumbeat of the New York Times in the late 1850’s for WAR over the tariff-free imports through the Port Of New Orleans, thus undercutting New York’s importance. Read the old papers on microfiche!

WTF! You just make it up as you go.

standwatie, is that you?

Tariff-free imports through the Port of New Orleans? You mean smuggling or what?

You can search the Times archive on line now. Give a date and a few of the key words and we'll see if you're right.

Hehe. Sorry, all that is WELL documented. Check the 1859 New York SLIMES editorials. I cannot BELIEVE what warhawks they were!
