“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.
It was expressing amusement at your effort of wishful thinking.

I cannot help but feel you are flippant about this and don't really care about the information because you have already made up your mind to ignore it if it doesn't show what you wish to believe. It is not easy to remember where to find all this, but I managed to find some information on the subject which I had read a long time ago. Thanks to PeaRidge for compiling this information.
I believe there is more, and more detailed information in the linked discussion thread, but I think this addresses your interest in an accurate and somewhat detailed manner.
