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?

Say what you will, but I stated flatly that none of the "Ordinances of Secession", found here mention the issue. As you can plainly see, they do not.

Now, you can rag on about this idea if you want.

Here are the official Ordinances of Secession:

Here is South Carolina's for your review.

AN ORDINANCE to dissolve the union between the State of South Carolina and other States united with her under the compact entitled “The Constitution of the United States of America.”

We, the people of the State of South Carolina, in convention assembled do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, That the ordinance adopted by us in convention on the twenty-third day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, whereby the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified, and also all acts and parts of acts of the General Assembly of this State ratifying amendments of the said Constitution, are hereby repealed; and that the union now subsisting between South Carolina and other States, under the name of the “United States of America,” is hereby dissolved.

Done at Charleston the twentieth day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty.

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