https://youtu.be/8S96iQYL0bw This is a lecture about the real reasons the southern states left the union. When you see whats going on today, it makes complete and total sense. We have been completely mislead in our education to the point we dont even recognize we dont live in the America our forefathers built. There are several other videos on this channel that talk about the war. Each as interesting as the last. I urge everyone to watch them. It could greatly help current relations within our culture if people can understant the civil war was nothing to do with slavery.

Enacted on July 13, 1832, this was referred to as a protectionist tariff in the United States. The purpose of this tariff was to act as a remedy for the conflict created by the Tariff of 1828. The protective Tariff of 1828 was primarily created to protect the rapidly growing industry-based economy of the North. Because of this, the Tariff of 1828 was also called the Tariff of Abominations by Southern states, as it seemed unfair on the part of the government to favor the North's economic and sociopolitical power by forcefully reducing the value of the South's agricultural-based economy by imposing excessive tariffs on goods imported by the South. As compared to the gross economic disparity created by the protective Tariff of 1832, it proved to be an unsatisfactory measure by Northern politicians to quell the protests rising from the South. Its predecessor pushed the duties on citizens which were as high as 45 percent on the value of specific manufactured goods, while the Tariff of 1832 act brought it down to 35%. For instance, the tariffs on hemp, which had been raised to $60 a ton in 1828, was reduced to a $40 a ton in 1832, as a result of a tariff enacted that same year by a Northern-dominated federal congress. Even then Southerners were not happy with it. Eventually, their unrest and dissatisfaction was what led to the nullification crisis. Along with that, another bill was passed, Tariff of 1833.
Slow strangulation by UnConstitutional policies from an overreaching government. Sounding familiar?
In Washington, the President and the Vice President differed on the issue. John Calhoun, the Vice President, later quit his office to defend the nullification process. In 1833, a bill authorizing the President the use of military forces against South Carolina was passed as a preemptive measure. Consequently, negotiations led to a tariff satisfactory to South Carolina being passed. Finally, South Carolina repealed its Nullification Ordinance in 1833 on March 26.
Thats what got me down this rabbit hole. The parallels are incredible and terrifying.
Feedback loop tho. It wasn't about that but when liars repeat it and dupes bought in so for 2 lifetimes belligerent racists have made it so and everywhere more dupes rally to that lie.
Debunking the mythical republican/democrat switch.
Maybe it's time for the South to rise again? Sure sounds like it.
THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN! Its never been an if but a when.
