Ha ha ha ha ha. You need to re-read exactly what that act is saying. It's saying that British Ships may use American ports. (This after the war of 1812) It does not repeal the Navigation Act of 1817, and many if not all of the particulars of that act remain in effect today.

“Ha ha ha ha ha.”

Is that snark?

The repeal I linked shows that there was no prohibition on using foreign ships after 1830. Only the coastal trade was still prohibited, as it still is today.

Anyway, I will wait for you to show me how any legislation affected Southern ship building, shipping lines, or any other activity as regards the logistics of the cotton trade or other major business activity. I’ll grow old(er) but I’ll wait.
