There is absolutely no reason to believe that they wouldn't be able to provide a state-by-state listing in 1860. From that it takes only a little simple math to calculate the total in southern banks etc. Thus your post is a nonargument.

And you're sticking up for whathisname. What a hoot.
He put CAPS on "Union" and "Southern". The only reasonable interpretation is that somewhere in some musty old nook in the national archives, there's a book titled "U.S. Department of the Treasury (1860)" with the headers:
"Union"
And:
"Southern"
That's what whatshisname said. It's absurd. But you support it.
