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.

It has been *ASSERTED*, but the evidence shows that is misleading to the point of being completely wrong.

Yes, the taxes were collected and paid in the North, but the material upon which such taxes were collected, were payment for goods 72% of which came from the South.

The South was providing 72% of all revenue, even though the taxes were collected mostly in New York city.

You don't understand how the packet shipping system worked, and you should really learn about that if you wish to further discuss the matter.

No… you're nuts. There is no evidence that shows anything other than the fact that you are nuts. Your slave master heroes didn't pay all the taxes.
