You continue to refuse to show your data. I can only assume that you have none and you are just repeating an old Lost Cause myth on the cause of the Civil War.

No one was arguing about tariffs in 1860. They argued about Kansas/Nebraska, Dred Scott, and Popular sovereignty. No one even claimed that the South paid 72% of taxes. No one. That’s just another one of your myths.

They were probably unaware at the time of what percentage they were paying, they just knew it was a lot, and they didn't like it.

I wouldn't like it either.
