Okay, this guy's an idiot. First off, the "revenue" line attributed to Lincoln comes from one source, a confederate politician, after the war, recounting a conversation he had five years earlier. So, "invariably" actually means "once, maybe, if we trust a former confederate politician's memory and agenda."
Second, the idea that most of the tariff was collected at southern ports has been debunked so many times that even the more-knowledgable Lost Causers don't bring it up. Diogenes is constantly posting the image showing that the vast bulk was collected in New York.
Third, the "most of it was spent in the north" is also BS, because you can look at the federal budget for the years leading up to the war and see where it was spent. Of the $85 million the government spent in 1859, half went to pay for the army and navy, and most of the army was in the west, and Texas in particular. and another $16 million was was spent on the postal service. You can find a detailed breakdown of federal spending for FY 1859 here: Report of the Secretary of the Treasury on the State of the Finances for the Year Ending June 30, 1859
And you seem completely oblivious to the point. The MONEY WAS PRODUCED IN THE SOUTH, but COLLECTED IN NEW YORK.
The south was paying virtually *ALL* of the tariffs and New York and Washington DC were getting rich off of slurping at that slavery trough.
