That's always been my position, tariffs and other unConstitutional and unfair practices by Congress was the prime mover towards War.
States' Rights was a much greater impetus than slavery. We were taught differently here in Texas perhaps, at least back in the 60s and early 70s. We did get taught about the Federal Troops being sent to Savannah in the 1830s to enforce illegal tariffs for instance, we did get taught the debates for decades prior to war, Lincoln - Douglas for instance. That is one reason why it is so shocking to many of us to hear media and such blowhards claiming the War of Northern Aggression was about slavery; no, slavery was a small part of the movement towards war.
It is why so many Southerners fly the Stars and Bars still - that flag does not represent racisms it represents States' Rights and the Constitution to millions of people.
The same battle is being fought today, most all our present tyrannies are because the double damned corrupt Federal government has again violated States' Rights so egregiously
