As long as your government is not imposing them on you, it matters. Money, power, and sovereignty. That really is what it was all about, isn’t it?

You make no sense. If the U.S. government, in which the Southern states were we well represented, imposes a protective tariff then that's grounds for secession. But if the Confederacy imposes a protective tariff then that's perfectly OK. Either a protective tariff is wrong or it's not. It's either grounds for rebellion or not. You can't have it both ways.
