Wrong. All the exports had to go out on American built ships. So the South was forced to send all their cotton up to Yankee land and let them ship the cotton out on their boats at a very significant profit of fees and commissions. About 40 cents on every dollar. After about 30 years of it the South got sick of it. If the South left the Union they could ship their cotton out of Charleston and Savannah on any dang ship they liked. IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY1111111111

Show me one reputable link that shows the south had to ship on northern ships.

Why didn't the south build their own ships?

You need to read the tariff act to find out whats in it. I thought you were a big expert on all things tariff.

Take a few minutes and consult with Sherm/you. :-)
