[SoCal Pubbie]

I was referring to Lampie’s need to have imports and exports balance, as part of the proof that Southerners paid the vast majority of the tariffs. Clearly there were more imports than exports throughout the antebellum period. Of course he just blows it off as “roughly equal.”

It was 6.9% away from being exactly equal. Close enough to establish the point.

Besides that, i've got between 13% and 25% of margin of export value to play with, depending on who you cite as a source to demonstrate the South's export value.
