As Professor Charles Adams states in his book For Good and Evil: The Impact of Taxes on the Course of Civilization, " … the South paid about three-quarters of all federal taxes, most of which were spent in the North."

Funny how US Senator from Georgia and Vice President of the CSA, Alexander Stephens, who should know first hand where the money came from and went to, said just the opposite. (See post #30)

The Northern states paid over 75% of all federal taxes while the south with only 40% of the population, consumed 50% of the budget.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but no one is entitled to their own facts.

I have to admit, I did not read all of your post #30,, or at the least, not enough of it. The reason for my post of #283 is explained in my post #292.

If you would be so kind, as to give me the reference of your post #30. I would like to have a copy of that one. I can not copy it.

Thanks,,
