So duties and tariffs and taxes on liquor were most of the revenue?

There were tariffs on everything imported from Europe, and the rates varied. The South produced 72% of all trade with Europe, and therefore they were responsible for creating 72% of the tax revenue stream funding the Federal government.

The four times larger Northern population was only creating 28% of the tax revenue for the entire nation.

Even then, the Southern slavers hated US-made items.

Fascinating. Thank you for that.
