The Original 7 seceding states also happened to produce the most cotton and thus the most exports by $ value. They were thus hit hardest by the tariffs.

Oh brother. Do you understand that exports were not taxed. Or do you subscribe to Diognese’s bs lies about even though exports weren’t taxed, somehow his g-g-g-g Granddaddy paid for the whole country and the evil Yankees stole the rest of his hard earned money.

Do you understand exports were exchanged for imports and directly affected how much cotton and other cash crops customers bought and what the price was.
