The Daylight Robbery Series: How Tariffs Caused the Civil War | Episode 7 of 13

1 month ago

Join us with author Dominic Frisby as we expose how taxation and tariffs—not just slavery—drove the Southern states to secession. Learn how the North's increasingly aggressive tariff policies forced the South to pay 75% of federal taxes while receiving little in return, creating economic tensions that Lincoln refused to resolve.

This episode reveals shocking historical facts rarely taught in schools:
- How Abraham Lincoln prioritized revenue collection over peaceful resolution
- The South's willingness to abolish slavery to gain independence from Britain
- Why Fort Sumter was targeted as a strategic tax collection point
- The creation of the IRS and America's first income tax to fund the war
- How Lincoln strategically maneuvered the South into firing the first shot

Hear Charles Dickens' own words from 1861: "The quarrel between North and South is solely a fiscal quarrel." Understand why taxation has been at the heart of nearly every civil war and revolt throughout history.
