Incorrect.

Congress passed the Force Bill (remember this was 1833) authorizing the Jackson administration to use military forces against South Carolina to bring them back to the fold. Lincoln wasn’t even in the picture yet, President Jackson was a southerner, and both the Tariff Act (the “Tariff of Abominations”) not the Morrill tariffs) and the Force Bill were passed with votes from southern states.

It`s obvious now you are puuling facts out of thin air.

The Morrill vote sectional breakdown was 96–15 in the north, 7–9 in the Border, and 1–39 in the south.There were 55 abstentions.

The Morrill bill was brought to the Senate and passed 25 to 14. Supported by 24 Republicans and Democrat William Bigler of Pennsylvania. It was opposed by seven southern Democrats, three from the Border, two from the north, and two from the far west. Most of the Southern Senators had resigned. Thus it had easy passage.

You are completely wrong.

I never engage in a debate with anyone who serves up their own disinformation as facts.
