The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those who speak it.”
—George Orwell
In February 2012, I published a 12-thousand-word article on the Morrill Tariff in the Confederate Veteran, the magazine of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
A
large part of that work dealt with the history, economic impact, and
North-South political tensions from 1815 to the final passage of the
Morrill Tariff in March 1861 and beyond. In the summer of 2012, I
addressed a Stephen D. Lee Institute (SDLI) symposium in Savannah on
protective tariffs and other economic issues regarding “Lincoln’s
Economic Legacy.”
The
SDLI is an educational subsidiary of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
My February 2012 article was later published in the book, To Live and Die in Dixie: The Struggle Continues—by Seventeen Southerners, in 2014.
