Entry: The Limits of Lincoln Bashing Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_limits_of_lincoln_bashing#24393 Post contents: Poor Miss Marie Claire. Doesn't even know that the Congress, not the Administration, passed the horrid Morrill Tariff; the Congress in fact passes all tariffs and all laws. As for the makeup of that Congress, because Miss Marie want do her High School homework, cf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/36th_United_States_Congress What is more, the party breakdown is from the beginning of the Congress. By Feb 1861, many Southern Democrats had left, giving Repub majorities. Also for your homework: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morrill_Tariff though DiLorenzo is better. I'll have a pop quiz in class tomorrow on this articles, so study tonight, Miss Marie! Lincoln started his war over tariffs, not slavery. Sent at: 2008 07 20
