Free Book! Was Southern Secession About Tariffs?

“It is among the most enduring myths of the American Civil War. Many pro-southern apologists continue to exonerate the South by saying the War was never about slavery but about tariffs. Not only does this position remain popular for particular audiences and purposes, it provides a sort of last redoubt. When the facts of American slavery continue to bombard the denier, demonstrating over and over the defenselessness of that abominable institution, the shouts of “tariffs, tariffs!” grow louder and more frequent. As we shall see, however, the facts ultimately decimate the tariff argument as well.”
