Nope! Read Charles Adams among others. Revenue Tariff = Max 10%
But you claimed that their constitution only allowed for tariffs of a maximum of 10%. What clause of the Confederate constitution gave their congress the power to ignore their constitution?
Governments can do things under their war powers that they cannot do in peacetime. Every government does.

Common parlance. I already referred you to a source. Have fun researching it.
But then I would be admitting something that is just not correct.
Nope! You'd be admitting the truth. We all know how allergic you are to that.
FLT-bird: "Nope! Read Charles Adams among others. Revenue Tariff = Max 10%"
Anybody can read the Confederate Constitution, here, and see it says nothing about 10% tariffs.
The first act setting Confederate tariffs was passed on March 15, 1861 and listed about two dozen categories as 15% tariffs.
The second more complete tariff law was passed on May 21, 1861 planned to take effect after August 31 and listed several hundred categories with rates from 25% down to 5% or exempt.
However, after August 31 the Union blockade grew stronger resulting in very little revenues actually collected and so an "average rate" is impossible to calculate.
All told, Confederates collected only $3.5 million in tariffs from beginning in 1861 to the end in 1865.
