You are running around posting anything you can to cover up your errors. Now you say: "91.2% of all cotton exported from the U.S. left from Southern ports

Do you see any meaning in posting that data other than to 'look smart'. Of course the majority of cotton bales left Southern ports...it was grown in the South, dummy.

From where else would it leave...Bangor, Maine?

Likewise the majority of imports were landed in Northern ports...that's where the consumers were. Dummy.
