Patently false. High import taxes were supported by Lincoln and the North because the South relied heavily in imports. The South was paying 80% of all tariffs In 1860. You don’t know what you are talking about, as usual.
Ah, you see, this is some of this revisionist inbred history I was talking about.

As noted http://deadconfederates.com/2013/02/24/walter-e-williams-polishes-the-turd-on-tariffs/">here, about 63% of Federal revenue was collected as tariffs on shipments that went through just the Port of New York alone. And those tariffs were collected from the merchants who imported them.
One other point to make on tariffs -- the Southern states said little to nothing about tariffs when they seceded. The arguments presented, http://www.civilwarcauses.org/plat.htm">particularly in the Declarations, are primarily about slavery.
That suggests that tariffs weren't why the South seceded.
Yes, it was. I didn’t say that it wasn’t. I have merely stated that secession from the Union revolved around states rights. The South certainly saw slavery, among other things, as a state right. Wrong or right, they felt that the federal government didn’t have the right to govern their state.
1) It was ONLY about slavery.
2) That you were willing to destroy the union so a few rich white people could keep owning slaves is something you ought to be ashamed of.
You remind of the old Joke. A white racist finds a bottle and a Genie comes out. He announces he gets three wishes, but a black man will get twice what he gets.
He wished for a million dollars, but the black man got 2 million.
He wished for a 10 room mansion, and the black guy got a 20 room mansion.
Then he wished to lose one testicle!
They would have been paying the outrageous import taxes levied by the North had they won? Who knew?
See above. That simply wasn't true. Most of the import taxes were paid by merchants in the North, as 63% of import goods came in through the port of New York.
And your clan can’t admit you made a mistake voting for a senile, traitor. The destruction all started with Obama who is now pulling his underlying’s strings to ruin America. People like you have blinders on and won’t see it until it is far too late to recover. They are betting on your continued allegiance and ignorance.
I didn't vote for Obama in 2008. I probably wouldn't have voted for him in 2012, but the GOP nominated the Mormon, and I hate Mormons with a passion.
But when Obama became President, unemployment was at 10% and when he left it was 4.7%. Sounds to me like he did a good job.
On the other hand, when Trump left office, unemployment was at 6.9%. He was the first president since Hoover to post a net jobs loss. Sounds like he fucked it all up.
Today, unemployment is down to 3.7%, despite the Fed tightening the money supply to get inflation down to 3%.
You Trump supporters like to pretend that 2020 didn't happen.
