Although die-hard "lost cause" modern confederates don't like it, Lincoln was a moderate on tariffs until the War required higher tariffs to finance it. Lincoln was originally a Whig and a Midwesterner where moderate tariffs were the accepted view. The fact that everyone knows Lincoln's views on slavery but almost no one correctly knows his views on tariffs helps to demonstrate that the Civil War was not about tariffs.
