[Non-Sequitur]

Lying is a strong word and one that you should not be tossing about when comparing me with the likes of DiLorenzo. Show me when a single dollar of tariff income was collected at Sumter? Where were the people to administer the collection? How was it done? The fact is that Sumter was never used as a customs point. The fort wasn't used as anything until the last days of December when Major Anderson moved his command there. Yet DiLorenzo specifically identifies it as a tariff collection point and he is the one who is lying.

And that is why I do not toss it about. I call it out appropriately when you commit a lie, as you did by accusing DiLorenzo of lying about Sumter regarding a tariff collection instrument. Lincoln's own cabinet meeting notes reflect that he himself saw the use of Sumter to enforce the tariff. You denied it was so in your attack on DiLorenzo. Your denial conflicts with history, as I showed. Therefore it was a lie.

Diversionary tactic. You said that DiLorenzo was a liar for identifying Sumter as a "a tariff collection point in Charleston Harbor," which Lincoln's own cabinet meeting notes identified it to be. Therefore you lied. You then got caught. Live with it.
