You are laughing at your own jokes. As i've pointed out, many northern newspapers asserted the exact same concern about the impossibility of controlling the wide border with the CSA.
We have better resources now, and we can't even stop the many tons of drugs and people being shipped across our border right now.
Because newspaper editorials are never, ever wrong?
We have better resources now, and we can't even stop the many tons of drugs and people being shipped across our border right now.
We also have literally hundreds of routes across the borders with dozens of different ways of getting it across. In 1860 goods moved long distances by boat or train, as has been pointed out to you before, and the crossing points between the U.S. and the Confederacy would have been few and easily monitored. But by all means land the goods destined for people in the north is some southern port, tax it, send it up to the U.S. where it can be taxed again, and pretend that is a logical scenario that would turn the northern ports into ghost towns. Like I said, it's very amusing when you try to twist that into what passes for logical scenarios in your world.
