You have me about ready to give up. You don't grasp how the Southerners could cut off all revenue from the North that was produced by exporting Southern products to Europe? You cannot understand how if the South trades directly with Europe, the North gets cut out of any profit or taxes from trade they are no longer involved in? I don't know how it can be explained to you more simply. At this point I think you should just ask somebody on your side how the North gets cut out of direct Southern trade with Europe. The Northerners at the time sure understood it!

If they understood it there must have been a lot of talk about it. Show me an example of it. How did the North get money from the South other than by providing services such as the Factors, bank loans, selling them food so they didn’t starve. If the South was so damn vital to the Northern economy, why did the Northern economy boom during the war years when the South was not using Northern factors, banks or buying northern food.

There were plenty of people in the North who supported the South during the war. Show me where they wrote about this grand conspiracy of yours.

Or maybe… just maybe, you are f*****n nuts.
