"Where did I make that connection?

You first conjured it up and used it in 662 and continued to use it erroneously since then.

"Regardless of the source, you claimed $331 million out of $362 million total imports were destined for southern consumers. Your claim, not mine."

Get it through your head that it was your claim, and not mine. What I stated was that in 1860, the Southern states consumed $331 million in imports to show Grand Old whatever that this statement was wrong:

"Tariffs collected at southern ports were nil, because southern imports were nil."

You did not, Pea. The quote from the source you gave reads as follows: "During 1860 the imports of the South were valued at $331 million; those of the North at $31 million."
