Why would the trade go to the South if the demand for the imports wasn't there?
I'm not surprised you couldn't be more creative in coming back with a dig.
Off day. I'm fighting a bug and am a little under the weather.
The demand for imports in the South was artificially constricted by the added taxation for stuff the South wanted. (I believe the costs of some things were doubled.) Once the extra costs were gone, there would have probably been quite a lot of demand for English rail road iron, cars, engines, and other machinery, iron implements and such.

Well I hope you get to feeling better. Nobody likes being sick.
