Then how did the U.S. collect $102.3 million in tariff revenue in 1863 without the Southern cotton exports?

I don't care. I have no interest in what happened after the war started. My interest lays in pointing out the accurate causes of the war, and sweeping away the propaganda nonsense we've all been brainwashed with our entire lives.

1863 is long after my area of interest.
