Actually I don’t really mind the graphic but to paraphrase Inigo Montoya: “You keep using that graphic. I do not think it means what you think it means”.

He acts as though he believes that the tariff collection sites were private enterprises and that New York pocketed the funds instead of adding them to the United States treasury. Just because the funds were collected at a particular location does not mean that that location benefited inordinately.

Why? Doesn't it show exactly what you wish to believe? The guy that created it did so to prove that the South wasn't paying the tariffs, and so they could not possibly have been upset about the tariffs.
