Here is the problem:

Your exact comment from #310: “First of all, if you think the Morrill Tariff had anything to do with Deep South declarations of secession, then I'd challenge you to quote any of their Declarations of Reasons for Secession which say as much.”

As I have said twice, you set up a strawman argument by suggesting that a set of unofficial documents proved anything more than being commentary.

And as I said, go ahead and quote what you want but exclusion proves nothing.

PeaRidge post #379, referring to the lack of mention of Morrill Tariff in any secession document: "As I have said twice, you set up a strawman argument by suggesting that a set of unofficial documents proved anything more than being commentary."

Read them again.
They are official documents of secessionists' conventions.

So why do you continue to deny obvious facts of history?
