I call it "lying by omission" or "lying by obfuscation". We saw it during the impeachment wars with Hillary's flying monkey, "journalist" Sid "The Squid" Blumenthal, he of the "Nuts & Sluts" strategy.
Are you REALLY going to go there, Partisan Gunslinger?
Go where? Do you really believe tariffs were paid by southerners? Look up the history of tariffs in the United States and you find that the south got their way in the decades leading up to secession. The tariffs were much lower in 1860 than they were in the 1820s. You'll also find that those that were most angry about the tariff situation were the northern manufacturers because they had been lowered and lowered for decades.
