No intentional mistake about it, at least on my part. If you look at the writings of the authors I mentioned in my earlier post, all claim that the South was directly responsible for 80-90% of all tariff revenue. If they are correct, and it's a southron rule of faith that then are, then simple mathematics to determine that prior to the rebellion the North accounted for at most less than $11 million dollars. Their logic, not mine. No error on my part, just lack of careful reading on yours.
No, I wouldn't. If you do some checking, you will see that every State of the Union document of the period gave tariff revenue totals, which unfortunately for your contention, contained re-export collections. Those duties inflated the true collection number.
Lincoln says that the $102 million was derived from customs, which should mean tariffs if my understanding of the term is correct. What revenue results from re-export? Items placed in bond destined for other overseas customers don't pay duties. Items brought in as raw materials will still pay duties, even if they are made into an item later exported. So how could Lincoln's figures be inflated?
The actual net tariff revenue for fiscal year 1863 was $64 million. That from the US Treasury department. See Rustbucket's data from Taussig above for confirmation
And again, I said Lincoln was stating figures for fiscal year 1864. Please read what I posted.
The data makes the above appear for what it is...BS.
It appears more like you simply don't read what people posted.
