Thanks, but I can't see anything about imports, broken down by region. It does mention coastal shipping. Pea Ridge would have us believe that while the South exported directly from New Orleans, Savannah, and other southern ports, it imported everything via ports in the North, then sent it all South by coastal steamer.

That is ridiculous, and goes to show the lengths to which neo-Confederates will go to support their fantasies.

That is exactly right. Tariff collection data and general Treasury reports tell you virtually nothing. It has to be studied in detail.

I said neither of those things. Actually it goes to show your willingness to support your fantasies
