“Tariffs were said to be the complaint of the southern states but th e laws were changed in favor of the south before Lincolns election.”
The tariff played a role in secession for South Carolina and Georgia but I don’t think it was the main issue by any stretch of the imagination. However your claim that the law was changed in favor of the South before Lincoln’s election has no basis in fact.
The 1857 tariff had been a low tariff. Lincoln ran on the platform of a high tariff. The high Morrill Tariff, which Lincoln supported, was signed into law by James Buchanan after Lincoln had won the election but before he took office.
Let’s see. I was right about the tariff.
Lincoln ran on raising the tariff.
Lincoln is not Barack.
Everything has to go through Congress but its all moot because the South blew a fuse and started a firefight?
Would that sum it all up?
