"Abolition and Free Trade – 3"

Quotable:

"The Government under which the Southern states have prospered so wonderfully during the past sixty years had been almost entirely supported by duties on imports levied at three Northern ports -- New York, Philadelphia and Boston. The South may be said never to have paid any taxes at all."

Interesting quote considering it was an article of faith among Southerners then and pro-Confeferates today that, they claim, "The South" somehow paid ALL the taxes and everybody else was getting a free ride at "The South's" expense.

This article reminds us that not everyone at the time shared such views.
