If tariffs were the bigger issue why was slavery mentioned first and more times than tariff? The cornerstone speech only mentions tariff once. Slavery is the reason. You cant possibly be that stupid SS.Your comment is asinine. I didnt say why the north went to war. I said slavery is the reason the south went to war.
Then you're wrong about that too. Tariffs were a bigger issue to the south than slavery. Lincoln said he had neither the inclination nor the authority to end slavery. THINK
