Shall I post the Southern newspaper notices of foreign ships advertising the wares they’ve brought from overseas, or will you ignore those too like the ones posting rates for foreign ships carrying cotton OUTBOUND from Southern ports?

Shall I post the dollar amount value of imports compared to the dollar amount value of exports for the major southern ports for the year prior to the rebellion?

“ Shall I post the dollar amount value of imports compared to the dollar amount value of exports for the major southern ports for the year prior to the rebellion?”

And that would address the question of whether or not foreign shipping interests were importing foreign made goods how exactly? Apparently you were the one claiming that foreign ships would have to come with empty holds, or was it the other guy?
