You want to start with the protectionist tariffs (namely the Tariff of Abominations) and how the north was stifling trade of raw goods from the south while simultaneously forcing the purchase of higher priced manufactured goods from the north?
Or how about Lincoln's response to the first Secession being simply "What will become of my tariff?"
I mean, where do you want to start...I'll let you pick since you seem to be an authority on the issue. :lol:
Yeap. Of course.
Nothing to see here folks.
It's not the fact that the south was forcing people to work against their will.
It's not that entire black families and the children they had were owned by a slave master.
Its not the fact that slaves were thrown overboard into the cold waters of the ocean if they were sick.
Its not the fact that they were murdered as an entire people.
It's not the fact that slave owners were allowed to buy, trade, and sell people like they were cattle.
It was about tariffs!
Goddamn those tariffs!
