"Tax" has nothing to do with the point I'm trying to get across to you.
With *PEACE*, that money (which was later taxed) would never reach the North. They wouldn't get it anymore. They wouldn't be able to get any taxes or revenue off of it because it would be used for direct trade between Europe and the South.
The North would be cut out of that money!
I’ll say it again. The Federal Government did Not tax EXPORTS!
And I will say you are apparently DENSE, because the point has nothing to do with taxes, and everything to do with the fact they would never get their hands on those products or the money paid for them, because the Confederacy would be bypassing the North and trading directly with Europe.
With *PEACE* the North gets cut out of hundreds of millions of dollars in profit.
The North had to have that war to stop the South from cutting them out of around 700 million per year.
Somehow I still don't think the point is getting through to you. I expect you to come back with something about "taxes" again.
"Taxes" have nothing to do with the fact the NORTH GETS CUT OUT OF THE MONEY STREAM if the South was allowed to leave peacefully.
What the hell money are you talking about? The money the cotton planters didn’t ,pay in taxes? The money they didn’t pay in tariffs? How in the hell did the North steal their money?
You are just nuts. What color is the sky in your world? And what’s the source for you 40% number? You fevered imagination?
