The Federal government at the time had duties on any thing exported from this country.

No they didn't. The duty was only on imports.

What ever Lost Cause literature you have been reading has lied to you.

Before anyone else tells me that the North(Federal Government) did not tax exports, you are right, the were called “Tarriffs” and the commerce clause was amended in 1830 to allow this. You need to learn how to read and do your own research.
