About that map and who uses it. The map only gives the amount of tariffs collected at the U.S. Customs house in New York. What amount was paid by locals cannot be defined.

Who paid it is another matter and cannot be determined by referring to that data.

Not by looking at the map data, but when you incorporate this other information about who was earning the European money, it becomes quite clear who was paying the taxes.

The South was paying most of the taxes for the entire nation.

I agree with you completely.
I was referring to others who constantly show that map and saying all the tariffs were paid by northerners.
