Almost forgot to reply to this.
So what happened to that 10 million they put into subsidizing the Baltic's company? Did it end up in the water with no one getting any value for it, or did it employ sailors, carpenters, mechanics, banks, and all the support structure for that company and other companies?
That 10 million went into the Northern infrastructure in both people and equipment.
Did the South get a 10 million dollar cash dump during that same period?
First of all, “The North” did not get the money. A company did. And there was absolutely no reason a company in the South could not have gotten that money other than the fact that it was safer to invest in land and slaves in the South rather than ships and sailors.
You have some bizarre ways of.looking at things and excusing Southern slave owners and treason. I’m not saying the North was perfect, but they were a far sight better than the reprobates you defend.
