What were the British tariff rates?
They were also far higher than the tariff rate the Southern states would set if free to set their own rates....which is why they specified in the Confederate Constitution that only a revenue ie max 10% tariff would be allowed rather than a protective tariff.
Which makes those 25% and 20% and 15% Confederate tariff rates so puzzling. I forget. They were a war measure, or so you claim.
I've asked before, and I'll ask again because watching you refuse to answer is so much fun, but what clause in the Confederate Constitution prohibited tariffs higher than 10%?

Nothing puzzling about it. They were fighting for their freedom and needed all the resources and money they could get.

It specified Revenue Tariff which by definition meant a maximum of 10%.
