Okay my first forum on the morril tariff was a mistake due to the inaccuracy in my sources. I am starting this forum as a clean slate.
The morrill tariff was a protective tariff adopted 2 days before Lincoln integration day. The tariffs purpouse was to collect money from both Nothern and Southern Ports to help grow grow the industry in the North Faster. The tarif collected 80% of Nothern imports and 20% of Southern imports. Looking at population and industry in both regions It effected the South more than the North and got the South European support.
The economic issues of the tariff were mettioned in secession documents in many states
Georgia
Why? Because by their declared principles and policy they have outlawed $3,000,000,000 of our property in the common territories of the Union; put it under the ban of the Republic in the States where it exists and out of the protection of Federal law everywhere; because they give sanctuary to thieves and incendiaries who assail it to the whole extent of their power, in spite of their most solemn obligations and covenants; because their avowed purpose is to subvert our society and subject us not only to the loss of our property but the destruction of ourselves, our wives, and our children, and the desolation of our homes, our altars, and our firesides. To avoid these evils we resume the powers which our fathers delegated to the Government of the United States, and henceforth will seek new safeguards for our liberty, equality, security, and tranquillity.
Florida
Additional territory is generally only acquired by conquest or purchase. In either case the slaveholding States contribute at least this equal proportion of men or money – we think much more than an equal proportion. The revenues of the General Government are almost entirely derived from duties on importations. It is time that the northern consumer pays his proportion of these duties, but the North as a section receiving back in the increased prices of the rival articles which it manufactures nearly or quite as much as the imposts which it pays thus in effect paying nothing or very little for the support of the government. As to the sacrifice of lives which recent acquisitions have caused how small is the proportion of Northern blood shed or laurels won in the Mexican war.
Thanks
