In the North. The congress moved 7.2 million from the South, and gave it to people in the North.
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.
If you hadn't taxed it out of them, the South would have kept 7.2 million of that money. It was already theirs, and congress transferred it to a Northern region.
You have some bizarre ways of.looking at things and excusing Southern slave owners and treason.
Well firstly, it wasn't "Treason." In fact, nobody was charged with "Treason." It was in fact *THEIR RIGHT* to have independence, as articulated in the Declaration of Independence.
As for "excusing Southern slave owners", I make no excuses for them. I am aware and acknowledge that it was legal since the nation's founding, and that all the states agreed to join a Union that was a known slave holding Union. Almost every state was a slave state in 1787. A lot of Northern states, which made *HUGE PROFITS* on slavery when they were transporting slaves, found that slaves were of little use to them in Northern climates, and in fact, were more trouble than they were worth.
When I was young, I believed the Northern states gave up slavery because it was the morally right thing to do.
I now realize how naive I was. They gave them up because they were of little value, and far too much trouble. They then put on airs about how moral they were for giving up something that wasn't of much value to them, and condemned those people further South for not doing the same.
But the point is, slavery was legal in the United States, the Congress voted to further protect slavery in 1861, so anyone who thinks the war is about slavery is just brainwashed by the war propaganda from that era.
The North didn't invade because of slavery. They invaded because the South was cutting off 72% of their federal income, and too many Northern companies had become addicted to that money.
You are absolutely nuts. You have had it explained to you dozens of times that the vast majority of taxes were paid in the north yet you continue to insist that the poor old plantation owners paid all the taxes. You are certifiable.
