The War of Northern Aggression was started because the South was tired of supporting the Federal Government who was getting 90 per cent of it’s budget from federal excise taxes on southern exports. I don't think so.

The Federal government at the time had duties on any thing exported from this country. The two biggest exports were tobacco and cotton. The north was a net importer. It was where the term the Southerners call the “O Grab Me Tax” came from. Check your history.

This statute only applied when products were sold to another state, not exported to another country. nice try though.
