Oh man, you are really stretching now. Well you're saying the South didn't actually pay the taxes, but their revenue did. Meanwhile you ignore all the vastly more abundant economic activity in the Northern states.
Squirm away. LOL.

Meanwhile you ignore all the vastly more abundant economic activity in the Northern states. If it didn't produce trade revenue, it didn't pay for the Federal government. Only that 28% of the trade with Europe produced by the North paid any taxes. Northern business buying and selling each other's products did not create any Federal revenue.
