While we're on the topic of timelines why don't you check out the congressional record itself to see when Mr. Morrill brought up his infamous tariff bill?

March 12, 1860 - Rep. Justin Morrill of Vermont speaks on the House floor to report his tariff bill's approval out of the the Committee on Ways and Means

http://memory.loc.gov/ll/llcg/052/0100/01741116.gif

Do you not find it the least bit strange that a bill that you claim was to finance the war was taken up by congress well over a year before that war ever started and long before they even knew there was going to be a war? If the things that you claim about the bill's purposes were true (and they are not) Rep. Morrill must have been consulting with his psychics!

except that lincoln the tyrant would have endorsed cannibalism, if it would have gotten him elected & able to wage a UN-just war of conquest against the southland.

he was just a cheap politician,nothing more, nothing else.

I wonder how that Dixie air smelled to those who were slaves?

By the way it's Fort Sumter, not Fort Sumpter as per your Reply #448.

nope. sorry, as usual you are wrong.

endlessly repeating self-serving, arrogant, ignorant damnyankee LIES does not make them become MAGICALLY true.

Before Lincoln, our country was refered to as "these United States". After Lincoln, it is now "the United States".

The 10th amendment outlines the limits of federal government as being circumscribed by the constitution.
The regulation of interstate commerse pretty much defines the limit of the federal jurisdictin over the states.

Of course you have to have in the mix the abrogation of the Constituion by Lincoln.

one thing you are good at is DECEPTION.

others here call it LYING.

personally, i think you can't tell the difference between truth & lies. SAD.

how about the thousands of damnyankees & northern institutions who/that owned slaves?

was that OK, just because they were resident in the north?
