Nice ducking of the issue, though. Who were these Northern capitalists who demanded war? Names, please? Details? Do you have anything more than just your gut instinct and a Marxist theory of what must have happened?
The North produced only 26% of the export trade. How did they end up with 90% of the import trade?
The Southerners were paying the tariffs, but they were doing so indirectly so it's easy to hide this fact.
It strongly suggests the opposite.
Yes it does, and that is precisely my point. A false understanding of the trade patterns is created by the fact that virtually all the traffic for the South was controlled by New York. This leaves the impression that New York was paying for almost all the tariffs and the South's contribution was trivial.
However, the tabulation of exports I posted demonstrates that one way or another, the vast bulk of that money was created by Southern exports, and therefore the tariffs must be eventually paid for by Southern exports.
In other words, the map creates a false understanding, while the chart clarifies what was actually going on.
Who were these Northern capitalists who demanded war? Names, please?
Some names have been posted before. I guess you missed them. From my perspective, the names are not so terribly important because it doesn't matter who is holding your leash. It only matters that someone is.
Who are the names of the people involved between the current New York plutocrats and the Deep State in Washington DC? We know some of them because some of them have been dragged out into the open where we could see them.
Do not doubt it, the media is the weapon of this corruptocracy, and this collusion between crony capitalists and government "deep state" is detrimental to the nation. These are the very people Trump is currently fighting, and their proxies are people like Schumer, Pelosi, Nadler, Cuomo, and so forth.
Who is behind these front people? Legions.
