the idea that they [tariffs] were a major bone of contention in the South or major reason for the rebellion is nonsense

So the Tariff of Abominations had no sequel, and the Nullification crisis was about nothing.

Excuse me, I meant to say, the Nullification crisis was nothing, and the idea that it existed was nonsense.

Now you're telling history that history is wrong. You go, girl.

If they were, then why were representatives of the confederacy offering Virginia protective tariffs on whatever industry they wanted, set as high as they wanted them set, if they would only join the confederacy?

Not history. Just you.
