[Non-Sequitur]

You have been laying out that deceptive bunny path for years, and is irrelevant to this string.

You said: "But shows your claim that the South consumed the majority of all imports to be impossible." As you have been told before, point of landing of imports, point of tariff payment, and point of final consumption are all different variables and are generally not dependent. So, your point, again, is irrelevant.
