No.....not at all.....and you know absolutely nothing about it. I have no idea what link you are attempting to provide........I provided this:

That was the start of everything..........why are you using Forbes and suggesting the Morrill Tariff ? What has that have to do with it.....besides an increased hostility towards the Southern states? This began way before such. What is wrong with you?

This is a protective tariff:

protective tariff
noun
1. a tariff levied on imports to protect the domestic economy rather than to raise revenue

Why do I give a f' what Forbes does....and how do you not understand such?

There is no argument here.........only history. Read the history instead of some individuals opinion. Derive factual knowledge ....as such...understand what is...et al....the truth.
