Throughout 1862 President Lincoln pushed compensated emancipation and relocation schemes. Tariffs are not mentioned.

That could have something to do with the fact that Lincoln already got the high tariff he wanted in 1861.

Obviously nonsense, as Lincoln's aim was the maintenance of the Union. If tariffs were an issue, he would have offered a course of action to address that grievance.

Tariffs were not enough of an irritant to cause the war.

The slave power brought on the war because their ponzi scheme in human flesh would come crashing down unless the peculiar institution could expand.
