I recall having read over the years that the South paid 2/3 to 3/4 of tariff receipts.

Yeah, over the years I've seen all you southron types parrot those percentages as if they came from a burning bush. But when pressed for details, all of a sudden you don't have access to primary materials. So how about a guess? What do you suppose the south imported so much of that they paid 75% of all tariff revenue? Hmm? What demand did they have that consumed such a disproportionate amount of all imports? Surely you can hazard a guess on that, can't you?
