You are spitting out false points.

1.”Was the south taxed or tariffed(sic)?...No they weren't.”

False point. No one said that.

2.”They opposed the high tariff on foreign goods and got their way to have it lowered in the 1850s.”

What happened to the tariff in the 1850s had no bearing on the decisions of 1860. Another red herring.

3. “It doesn't matter what happened after secession.”

Red herring and not a point made by anyone here except yourself in response to an imaginary assertion...straw man argument.

Are you trying to be irascible or just spouting canards?

4.” The only reason the Morrill tariff passed in 1861 was because there were no southern congressmen left to oppose it.”

Distinction without meaning.

5. “The Morrill tariff would not have passed without secession.”

So, then why did you bring it up?

Pea Ridge do you think we will still have to suffer these idiots after the next secession? My guess is at that point they will be frothing at the mouth because there won’t be any slavery to blame it on. It’ll just be racism typed from their parents basement in Brooklyn. LOL!!!

Just following your lead. LOL!!!

What evidence do you have that his points are any falser (I made up a new word) than yours?

If it's not the Morrill tariff that you're talking about, then tell me what your great mystery of 1859/1860 is.
