“Also, if you run those numbers I posted for 1859, you will see that the South was producing 73% of all revenue from Europe.”
I’m not seeing that and it isn’t true anyway, as the real sources I’ve posted tell another story.
You're "real" sources only quoted cotton, and they put that at 60% of the total trade. The South produced Tobacco, Sugar, Hemp, and Molasses as well, and that accounted for another 13% of the total trade.
And i'm being nice here. According to Pea Ridge, (If I am remembering correctly) the official records of the US government puts the South's trade value at nearly 82% of the total.
But even according to your "real" sources, you have admitted to the South producing 60%, so you are only arguing over 13% of the total.
Why is it so important to you to fight to keep that 13%, as if that makes it okay for the South to be paying 60% of all the taxes with 1/4th the population of the North?
