What exactly would they be bringing to the Confederacy that they didn't before the war?
The Northerners, not having the previous supply of money they used to have, would buy less, and the Southerners, having substantially more money than they did before, would buy more.
Wishful thinking on your part I would think. Losing the south for four years during the rebellion and for several years afterwards did not appear to reduce the flow of imports, if tariff revenue for 1864 and later are any indication.
What would they buy? Dunno, but I do know they would buy stuff because what else would they do with the money?
What they always did. Buy more slaves.
What do people with money buy? Maybe they would be buying European made yachts which would have suddenly become much cheaper and more practical than before.
How would I know what they would buy from Europe. What I do know is they would have more money, and the Europeans would have to figure out what it is they wanted and then sell it to them.
Aren't you familiar with Capitalism?

So what was the Northern folk suddenly selling a lot of to Europe? More lumber? More fish? More leather goods?
Also, the thinking that the money numbers can be compared pre war and post war is likely wrong. It's like Obama's numbers. The cost of everything went up dramatically, but his government reported inflation was very minor.
What they always did. Buy more slaves.
They were getting those out of Europe, were they? Clearly you are attempting to make some sort of feeble joke here, and for what purpose I cannot guess, because it doesn't impress me, and I doubt it impresses your friends.
If you are going to make a joke, make a good one.
