In the same manner it stands to reason that people in India buy more imported wine, spices, coffee, tea, fabric and other products than Americans.
Those were among the most imported products by value in the US in 1860 (sugar, liquor, cocoa, hides, sardines too). Those were the products the most tariffs would be paid on.
Cotton planters would be very fat and drunk (and aromatic) if they consumed as much as Northerners.
What does India have to do with anything?
