You challenged me to provide a source. I did.

I provide you with information and you provide opinions.

False. I provided quote after quote after quote from numerous sources saying 10% was the maximum - before the government assumed emergency powers during the war.

Quote after quote after quote from Northern editorials. Nothing from Confederate sources saying tariffs would be 10% and no more.

In numerous quotes I provided you. 10% was the common definition of the maximum for a revenue tariff.

Again, you provided nothing from the Confederate government defining 10% as the maximum tariff or no legal opinion that 10% defined a revenue tariff.

I provided several sources which said this. Higher tariffs were an emergency power assumed due to the war.

Can you point me to your source from the Confederate government defining those higher tariffs as war measures? The legislation itself doesn't do that.

Yet in the Confederate Constitution they specified that only a tariff for revenue was to be allowed and not a protective tariff. It seems the commissioner at this one convention spoke out of turn.

And according to you they promptly ignored it. Do you imagine that the higher tariff might have been struck down by the Confederate Supreme Court? If Davis and the Confederate Congress hadn't also ignored the requirement to establish that branch of government as well?

Oh but I have you see...

Not so much, no.

LOL! Exactly as predicted. I provided numerous quotes and sources. I noted the Confederate Constitution said Revenue Tariff and not Protective tariff and you try to tap dance here and claim I need to provide Confederate Sources saying 10%.

This is part of your standard trolling game. Demand sources. Get provide voluminous sources that show exactly what you were told....then you just claim you need more and different. No source will ever be good enough if it shows something you don’t like.

Again, you are trying to troll here. I provided plenty of information to back up exactly what I said.

I provided the Confederate Constitution which stated revenue tariff rather than protective tariff. You are just trying to troll here. You’ve been shown plenty of evidence that anybody who was intellectually honest would admit proves the point.


And according to you they promptly ignored it. Do you imagine that the higher tariff might have been struck down by the Confederate Supreme Court? If Davis and the Confederate Congress hadn’t also ignored the requirement to establish that branch of government as well?****

Gosh, I wonder if President Davis and the Confederate Congress might have been preoccupied with any other issue at this time?


Not so much, no.****

Yes I have.
