Reading that article was interesting.
To put it in modern terms that would be like the democrats voting to raise the base federal income tax rate on just southern states to 50% on all citizens despite the votes against it.
I'm sure people would be thrilled by that.

We have a long and rich history of fake news in this country, don't we folks?
quote:
Two days before Lincoln’s election in November of 1860, an editorial in the Charleston Mercury summed up the feeling of South Carolina on the impending national crisis:
“The real causes of dissatisfaction in the South with the North, are in the unjust taxation and expenditure of the taxes by the Government of the United States, and in the revolution the North has effected in this government, from a confederated republic, to a national sectional despotism.”
