(BTW, the tariff was our only source of income other than land sales. Didn't make it right.)
The anti-tariff stancve prior to the Civil War was closely linked to the pro-slavery politicians and if you had bothered to ever learn some American history it was actually the tariffs that were cited by the pro-salvery people as one of the primary reasons for secesion.
Learn some damn history before you try to discuss it. If I am to teach you elementry history then I expect to be paid.

Once more you fail to show an even basic knowledge of the US Constitution or American History. There were several taxes that were sources of income for the USA until teh Income Tax was enacted (first in the Civil War then after it was declared Unconstitutional after ratification of the sixteenth ammendment to the US Constitution.) If you would take the tyime to learn history we might be able to have a conversation but your Marxist Socialist Internationalism will probably preclude any civility. You are the one who first brought personal abuse into the conversation. i advocted the jailing of WJC for his crimes which were felonies and the possible execution if he were found guilty of treason I can do no less for you.
