Oh for God's sake, your claims are growing crazier by the hour.
You are welcome to produce your source of the value and origin of the cargo carried by the New York shipping industry. Here is mine.
BroJoeK has already admitted that the 1/4th of the population living in the South contributed 50% of the total export value. The sources I have say it was 72% in 1860.
Put your source on the table and let us examine it.
Revenue from tariffs in 1859—$49,566,000
Federal government spent all of this on Congressional items, Navy and Army budgets, interest on public debt, and veterans pensions.
Tariff data: In 1859 tariff revenue was $49,566,000 on $331,333,000 worth of imports.
The exports from the US that bought those goods were worth $278,902,000 at the ports of exit from the US.
Of that amount, the value of cotton, tobacco, rice, naval stores, sugar, molasses, hemp, cotton manufactures (all originating in the South) was worth $198,309,000 (Statistical abstract of the US, 1936 edition,pgs 435-439) or about 71%.
Adams uses the figures of 87% which is the above amounts, plus he adds the value of tariffs paid on overseas purchases made with cash by Southern governments.
If you want the actual tables for mulit-year data, let me know.
To be precise, in 1860 roughly 50% of US imports (thus duties) were paid for by exports of cotton.
This includes those imports paid for by specie (California gold)transfers.
Your 72% is only valid if you exclude some categories of payments for imports.
