McDuffie’s tariff view on slavery and Union policy
The governor argues tariff concessions under the 1830s federal compromise boost Southern prosperity while pressing Congress to reduce duties to a revenue scale by 1842. He condemns anti slavery agitators in non slaveholding states and defends domestic slavery as divinely sanctioned and superior to political abolition. He warns of interstate incitement and calls for united action to protect peace and state interests.
