Lincoln fought the South to maintain the flow of tax revenue, as 2 thirds of all revenue to the US gov’t came from the South.

I believe this was in the form of tariffs.

It was all about the money.

I will never forgive Abe for what he did to my beloved South. I spit on his name.

I forgive Abe for what he did to the south - because it was necessary. I’ll never forgive the treasonous bass turd davis for what he did to America.

Two questions. If the South consumed two-thirds of the imports then why were over 90% of all tariff revenue collected in Northern ports? And what was it that the South imported in such massive amounts that accounted for two-thirds of the tariff revenue?

I will never forgive Abe for what he did to my beloved South. I spit on his name.

What happened to your beloved South was self-inflicted.
