BJK: "Collecting Federal tariff revenues had nothing to do with Lincoln's actions regarding Fort Sumter, despite what pro-Confederate propagandists claimed then, and now."

Those alleged quotes are pro-Confederate propaganda, nothing more. They are not confirmed by any public or private conversations reported by less hostile sources.
