It should be noted that the reason the collections were so small had nothing to do with an inability of ports to handle imports. New Orleans, after all, exported almost 1.8 million bales of cotton. Mobile exported almost half a million bales, Charleston over a quarter of a million bales. With the capacity to handle such large amounts of cargo, the reason why so few goods were imported through these ports obviously has to be that there was little demand for the imported goods. So 95% of all tariffs were paid in the Northern ports, by Northern merchants. Adams claims have no basis in fact.
