Exactly! See how much money the North was stealing from the South?

The North only produced 28% of the trade with Europe, the South produced the other 72%, yet all the money ends up in Boston and New York!

I post that map every time I want to show people how much money the North was getting from the South.

The Civil war was fought to keep that money flowing from the South into the wealthy pockets in the North.

The war had nothing to do with slavery, and absolutely everything to do with that money.

The North only produced 28% of the trade with Europe, the South produced the other 72%, yet all the money ends up in Boston and New York! So in your world, the only money in the United States was that generated by trade with Europe? Is that how you came up with your false statement that the South paid 72% of taxes?
