I didn't know the South designed the tariffs. Source?

Alexander Stephens, future Vice Presicent of the so-called CSA said that the tarriffs were "just what" the south made them.

Tariffs were not an issue in causing the war. This whole thread is just BS on the part of COPcap.

That's a pretty bold accusation, Walter, for somebody who hasn't even bothered to address one single point raised in this thread. Then again, as the historical record of FR demonstrates your clear affection for evasion tactics, I never expected you would in the first place.

"'just what' the South made them" can mean more than tariffs constructed by the South. It could also mean the way tariffs were used in business, the legislation surrounding them, as well as how tariffs were used politically by the Southern states in Congress (which could imply non-support as well as support). Not trying to sound snotty, but do you have a document you can post here?
