In 1860 the total value of imports into all of the United States was $336,000,000.

For the same year, the Southern states imported $346,000,000 in products, $10,000,000 more than the entire imports of all the states combined.

Some of the Southern states imports came directly from Europe. For 1860, the South brought in $106,000,000 in direct imports.

The balance, $240 million, came from from Northern Manufacturers and suppliers, or imports from Europe that were brought in by Northern or Southern brokers through New York, and re-shipped South.

The South consumed more imported goods than all of the Northern and Western states combined.
