It means ports in what would become Union states were paying a lot more tariffs than those that would be Confederate.

That's what it looks like, doesn't it? :)

Obviously the North was producing the vast majority of that wealth represented by those tariff collections, wouldn't you think?

I’m looking for the specific tariff acts, who passes and signed them, and how they unfairly targeted southern states that would precipitate secession.

You can start there, but that's not the important part of the story. Find out the value of Northern export Products to Europe. That's a better place to start.

I doubt you’ll be able to.

I think you are going to get surprised.

Tariffs were a federal tax, so the revenue went into the coffers of the entire nation, not any one region. They we’re paid by the merchants in the area that was importing the materials and goods. So northerners were paying the taxes, not southerners. This completely undermines your argument.

I’m still waiting for you to name the tariff laws in question that unfairly punished the south, and explain how they targeted southern.
