BTTT! Excellent and I agree because it’s true, despite my Yankee public school indoctrination. Taxes unequally imposed upon the industrial and successful South were used solely in Northern States.
If that was true then who paid for Fort Sumter?
Which taxes?
The industrial south? And please, tell us that the government was spending all that money in the north on. You can find the annual reports of the U.S. Treasury here. Perhaps you can point to where that money "used solely in the north" is being spent. Especially when the reports show most of the budget going to the military and the post office.
