There were 38 Democrats and 26 Republicans and 2 from the American party. If the tariff was really the issue then the southerners had more than enought votes to kill it. So why didn't they?

Maybe they knew the fix was in. Everyone knew how treacherous Linclon was. Sarcastic as that sounds, I do remember a ballsy Trent Lott being neutered by Clinton in the Serb bombing funding fiasco.? You know, the president you and Walt would vote for...

Maybe they knew the fix was in.

Or maybe it's because all your insisting that the tariff was the reason for the southern rebellion is a pile of crap.
