You make less and less sense as you go along. Millions of bales of cotton were exported from southern ports each year leading up to the rebellion, somewhere over 90% of the total. Just wanted to correct this misimpression:
There was no "rebellion". That was just political rhetoric. Time to put it away, now. Or otherwise, you can't complain about stand any more.

Merriam Webster defines rebellion as "open, armed, and usually unsuccessful defiance of or resistance to an established government." If that isn't an exact discription of the Southern actions in 1861 to 1864 then what is?
