'Taney sent his writ, his order for Merryman's release, and his opinion to the President, requesting of him to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, but Lincoln placed the papers in his desk, and went on fighting the war against the South, which the power brokers and financiers backing his party had demanded.

Typcial neo-reb lying crap.

The "brokers and financiers" wanted appeasement and conciliation at almost any cost.

That's not what the New York Times said on March 30, 1861:

s. With the loss of our foreign trade, what is to become of our public works, conducted at the cost of many hundred millions of dollars, to turn into our harbor the products of the interior? They share in the common ruin. So do our manufacturers. Is it just for Government to permit a tariff, enacted for their benefit, to be so avoided as to leave them worse off than before? Is it either dignified or provident to have the ammount of its revenues depend upon the acts or policy of revolted provinces, who will take any possible means of weakening us to secure impunity to themselves? The mode by which our revenue laws are now evaded, we have fully shown. New Orleans de jure is a part of the United States, but not de facto. Once at New Orleans, goods may be distributed over the whole country duty free. The process is perfectly simple. No remedy is suggested except force or treaty. We see no other.... The South well know our strength. If they understoood that it was to be vigorously exerted, unless we had fair play, they would concede it at once. But they rely upon our inaction as a means of gaining their ends. Let us put a speedy end to all such expectations, and hold ourselves in readiness to accept promptly any alternative that our interest our our duty may impost upon us."

"Typcial neo-reb lying crap."

So now you're saying that Marshall Lamon is lying also .... he had the warrant for Taney's arrest, and the orders to do so given to him by then President Lincoln and noted such in his own papers which are still in his library. Another person also witnessed and corroborated this verbal order ... Professor Lieber (of 'The Lieber Code' fame), and both Lieber and Lamon were true blue Yankees. You are full of sh*t Walt! You are the type of buffoon that a dictatorial type of government needs to keep fostering its own lies as being believable. You must be dumb enough to believe that the US government is pure, white and holy in all of its actions. Keep researching the truth and someday your eyes just might get opened.

Typcial neo-reb lying crap. The "brokers and financiers" wanted appeasement and conciliation at almost any cost.

Guess again. Typcial neo-Linconlite lying crap. With the South departed, and the North facing economic devastion - the loss of its customers, suppliers and sugar daddy - the northern "brokers and financiers" wanted the South brought back into the fold at any cost.
