You are so full of crap. Show the data, not you fuzzy math. Show the data..

My math just shows how unfair the situation is *IF* I am correct about the Southerners producing 72% of the taxes.

If that isn't true, then my math doesn't matter. Only what is true matters.

So let me ask you, where did the taxes come from in 1860?

You continue to refuse to show your data. I can only assume that you have none and you are just repeating an old Lost Cause myth on the cause of the Civil War.

No one was arguing about tariffs in 1860. They argued about Kansas/Nebraska, Dred Scott, and Popular sovereignty. No one even claimed that the South paid 72% of taxes. No one. That’s just another one of your myths.
