Virginia abolishes slavery

1 - The Morrill tariff was a protectionist tariff that harmed agricultural communities and allowed industrial communities to profit.

Reading their Declarations of Causes for Secession shows the slaveholding states did not secede because of the tariff. Why do you claim it would have harmed agricultural communities? Morrill also provided protectionism for sugar, wool, flax, corn, grain, and hemp which I would classify as agricultural.

*2 - Lincoln said that he would invade any state that refused to pay the Morrill tariff.))

Where and when did Lincoln say this?
