Funny how Tariffs are the reason America underwent the GIlded Age.

@SunofAusterlitz1805

I largely agree with what you said. I think the early Southern states that seceded did so mainly because of the blocking of the expansion of slavery in the West and what affect it would have on slavery in the future. Virginia, TN, AK, and NC seceded only after the Lincoln administration required them to involuntarily raise troops to invaded their southern neighbors. Lincoln invaded though mainly because of the collection of tariffs and wanting the Union to stay together

[SunofAusterlitz1805]

Also, the Morrill Tariff was too late to have a real effect. Although it could be argued the thought of it scared the southern states. BUT then why did the Declaration of Causes of Secession for the states not bring this up?! I am starting to lean towards maybe to Slavery was the main reason while the others were secondary. And explain the Cornerstone Speech by Alexander Stephens.

P.S-I was once 110% pro C.S these and more added doubt

[SunofAusterlitz1805]

1. Why is it that Pro C.S people always rant on the Corwin Amendment, when in the C.S Constitution has the same thing as the Corwin Amendment.

2. If States' Rights was the cause why did the Declaration of Causes of Secession state they did not what Northern States nullifying the Fugitive Slave Act?

3. States' Rights for what?

4. Why rant on Lincoln suspending Habeas corpus when the C.S Constitution allows that, in fact Davis did it too!

@KayBeeEee1983 "Preemptive strikes are not okay"

Ha... it wasn't preemptive if it was on their own land. And those fellow citizens were refusing to leave while planning to force and coerce them from their withdrawing their own land.
