Kind of like the white tire biters who post here.

it always boils down to marxism for "THE CONSERVATIVES". marx was a
ardent free trader, and hated federal governments. why don't you move
to china or cuba?


According to the article "What Shall Be Done for a Revenue?" in the
Evening Post of March 12, 1861:

* "...There are some difficulties attending the collection of the
revenue in the seceding states which it will be well to look at
attentively…Revenue from duties must be collected in the ports of the
rebel states, or the ports must be closed to importations from
abroad,
is generally admitted. If neither of these things be done, our
revenue
laws are substantially repealed; the sources which supply our
treasury
will be dried up; we shall have no money to carry on the government,
the nation will become bankrupt before the next crop of corn is ripe…
What, then, is left for our government? Shall we let the seceding
states repeal the revenue laws for the whole Union in this manner? Or
will the President call a special session of Congress to do what the
last unwisely failed to do—to abolish all ports of entry in the
seceding states?...."[9]

"...Since the North won it is maintained that the North was
preserving
the American virtues. Obviously, the South must represent evil and
non-
virtuous people. Generally speaking, in schoolbooks the North is the
"freer of the slaves". Movies and television have helped perpetuate
the myth. The real story of why the North fought the war has to do
with economic reasons. The New York Times in 1861 stated there would
be a loss of revenue because the high tariffs in the South were no
longer collected. After the South seceded, the tariffs were no longer
enforced.[22] As previously stated, the North fought because they
"feared loss of economy."[23] To prove the point Lincoln replied to a
question of letting the South secede: "Let the South go? Let the
South
go? Where then shall we get our revenues!"[24] It is high time that
the world be told why the North declared war on the South. They did
not do it for freedom: they did it to fatten their purses...."

its really hard to maintain a slave based economy. but
"CONSERVATIVES" will always try. in fact, "CONSERVATIVES" are well
known for doubling down on what does not work, like the confederacy
