Comment on Everything You Know About the Civil War (sic) is Wrong

To secede from the Union over Tariffs, when Congress had the constitutional right to collect Tariffs, would in fact be unconstitutional and an act of rebellion. So. To be smart and legal about it they simply followed the lead of Northern states. Slavery along with the tariff was also constitutional… and so was the federal Fugitive Slave Law. However, under the 10th Amendment and States Rights, Northern states were nullifying the Federal Fugitive Slave Law and refusing to return runaway slaves. So. If the Northern States could claim States Rights and disobey the US Constitution… so could the Southern States for this very same reason. That’s why they listed States Rights and slavery as their reason for seceding. Then. At this point, Lincoln offered the South the Corwin Amendment that would forever make slavery constitutional and legal to where no amendment could ever abolish it. (Yeah. The Great Emancipator). All the South had to do was rejoin the Union and pay the high Tariff being placed on them. The South refused and Lincoln had them invaded. While this was going on. Lincoln and his Union Yankee army was murdering the Indian out West, enslaving them and taking their land. Neither the invasion on his brothers in the South, or the invasion of the Indian in the West was over slavery. It was over money, banking, and power. Period. Because of Lincoln. We ended up with another Centralized banking system.. the Federal Reserve and IRS… taxes on our income. Now everyone in the entire damn country are debt slaves. Study the economy issue. Follow the money and you will see the true cause of the invasions in both the South and the West.. It wasn’t slavery.
