Part of The Lincoln's platform was spending them to enrich northern industrialists. Another part was designing the taxes themselves to enrich northern industrialists.
Southerners loved tariffs while they gave them an advantage over Indian cotton. How was the South's armies funded during the Civil War?
By a revenue tariff with a 13% average rate enacted in May 1861. The north, by contrast, enacted a protectionist tariff reaching average rates over 40%.
To stop a rebellion.
No. To enrich northern industrialists. Armies do have to be paid for, but The Lincoln enacted an agenda of corporate welfare, subsidies, and protectionist tariffs to line the pockets of the yankees with government funds and policy.
How was Lincoln a Marxist?
I did not say he was a Marxist. I said he had a cult-like following from Marxists, which is a historical fact. Marx himself adored Lincoln and considered him a hero to the revolution. Modern Marxists, such as James McPherson, adore him to this day.
Of course. Impose taxes and take those receipts and give to the richest 1%. Did I mention you neo-Confederates agree with liberals more and more? Oh yeah, I did. Why don't you explain to me exactly how Lincoln's taxes went to the rich.

So would you say that Jefferson Davis loved taxes since one was imposed during his rebellion?
No. To enrich northern industrialists. Armies do have to be paid for, but The Lincoln enacted an agenda of corporate welfare, subsidies, and protectionist tariffs to line the pockets of the yankees with government funds and policy.
Explain to me how.
I did not say he was a Marxist. I said he had a cult-like following from Marxists, which is a historical fact.
Jesus has a cult-like following from 60's hippies, that doesn't mean he's a hippie or agrees with anything they say. Show me a cult of Marxists that praises Lincoln.
Marx himself adored Lincoln and considered him a hero to the revolution. Modern Marxists, such as James McPherson, adore him to this day.
What did they adore about him?
Part of The Lincoln's platform was spending them to enrich northern industrialists.
That's not true.
The powers that be were all for appeasement of the south. Lincoln bucked them.
