The way New Yorkers were getting their foreign money is by taking 60% of the total value of production of Southern exports.

In your reply 510 is was 40%. Now it's 60%. If this thread goes on much longer it's going to be 80% or more.

Washington DC was getting their cut. New York was collecting the money and then sending Washington it's cut of the take. Between the two of them, the total is 60%, but New York alone was approximately 40%. Numbers are only approximations I have found reading articles on the topic.

Glad I could clear that up for you.
