Rustbucket's figures show that not only is the southron claim that the south paid the majority of the tariff false, tariff revenue grew during the war in real terms, and remained at roughly the same levels when factoring in inflation.

Point of clarification, non-seq. As my post 288 showed, tariff revenue was depressed during the war in real terms compared to 1860. It inched up slightly in real terms during the war for a couple of years but remained below its 1860 level.

But remove the southern consumers, which according to information posted accounted for roughly one third of the total in 1860, and wouldn't that mean that exports did grow? If the dollar figures remain about the same or grow slightly on a smaller customer base and that would seem to indicate a substantial increase.
