Northern tariffs were indeed bankrupting Dixie and the Morrill tariff was in the process of finishing the job. No one can dispute that. Michael T Griffith grew up in the North and as such is in fact an authentic Northerner and used to believe all the lies you posted until he did some investigative research to learn the truth. Over fifteen years ago I too was fairly ignorant on this issue and presumed the official version taught at school was correct until I too did some research into it and discovered that it was overwhelmingly based on Northern lies and propaganda. Look: it was a wake up call to learn how far we have been lied to about so many things but when you learn truthful and accurate information that shatters a delusion: you have to man up and accept it or continue to be at the mercy of the myth makers who craft propaganda to rationalize their brutal actions and tyrannical agenda. The people of Dixie were and are by and large an honorable people who were defamed after the war by their enemies who largely wrote the “history” of what they erroneously assert led up to the war.
But that's not what you said. You said it was the Morill Tariff that was bankrupting the South. And if it was the earlier tariffs that were causing the South such economic hardship then why did the Confederate Congress, as one of their first acts, adopt a tariff with exactly the same rates that were in effect the date they seceded?

OK so let's look at that link you provided for Mike Griffith, Northern native and scholar extraordinaire. We don't have to go far, just the second paragraph.
I wonder if those who now demonize the Confederate flag are aware that by late 1864 the Confederacy was moving toward abolishing slavery, and that key Confederate leaders, including President Jefferson Davis and Secretary of State Judah Benjamin, supported ending slavery.
He's kind of right in this. In fact in 1864 I think it was, Davis sent an emissary to Europe promising to end slavery if exchange for diplomatic recognition. One question springs to mind right off the bat: where under the Confederate Constituion did Davis get the power to promise something like ending slavery? Unfortunately Mike doesn't say.
I also wonder if they’re aware that the Confederate Constitution permitted the admission of free states to the Confederacy...
It's pretty obvious the Mike has never read the Confederate Constitution. Article IV, Section 3, Clause 3: "The Confederate States may acquire new territory; and Congress shall have power to legislate and provide governments for the inhabitants of all territory belonging to the Confederate States, lying without the limits of the several Sates; and may permit them, at such times, and in such manner as it may by law provide, to form States to be admitted into the Confederacy. In all such territory the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected be Congress and by the Territorial government; and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories shall have the right to take to such Territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the States or Territories of the Confederate States."
So it's pretty clear from that that it was NOT possible for a state to join the Confederacy as a free state.
...,that it banned the overseas slave trade...
It did, but it specifically protected slave trade with the U.S. (Article II, Section 9, Clause 1).
...and that it even allowed Confederate states to abolish slavery within their borders.
Well, no it didn't: "The citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States; and shall have the right of transit and sojourn in any State of this Confederacy, with their slaves and other property; and the right of property in said slaves shall not be thereby impaired." (Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1).
And the misinformation continues from there.
Look: it was a wake up call to learn how far we have been lied to about so many things
Looks to me like you're still asleep.
