Inaccurate. For most of the nation's history prior to 1860, considerable funding was provided by sale of public lands.
During the 1850s, tariffs amounted to 90 percent of federal revenue.
Not sure whether this is accurate or not.
Southern ports paid 75 percent of tariffs in 1859.
Wildly inaccurate.
Tariffs were charged only on imports and were paid where the importation occurred.
"New Orleans was the southern port that collected the most in the tariff, and it was only $3.1 million. The total south only collected $4.0 million in tariff revenues, whereas New York City collected $34.9 million in tariff revenues and the total for northern ports was $48.3 million."

IOW, northern ports paid well over 90% of tariffs.
If you're going to post stuff about "forgotten facts," don't you think it might be a good idea to make sure the facts are actually facts first?

And what was that 90% of all stuff that New York was Importing. What was Europe selling that the people of New York just couldn't do without?
I think New York collected 90% of tarrifs, but I very much doubt New York Imported 90% of the merchandise. Most likely it was destined to go elsewhere.
Sweet deal for New York. Get a share of everything coming into the country, and let Other people pay the markup.
I suspect that either you are obtuse, or you are deliberately trying to hide the truth from us.
