Texas is what America used to be. Until the rest of america gets its' act together, I say we prepare to go it alone, just in case.

... history compels me to remember South Carolina's port of Charleston in 1860 provided fully two-thirds of the revenue to the federal government. This explains in part their reluctance to allow South Carolina to leave the Union, other than feet first. It's one of those sad facts of history not taught in government schools ...
Do you have a source on that? New Orleans would have been a busier port at that time. But taxes were paid on goods coming in, not on goods going out.
My guess is that more tariff revenue would have come from New York than from Charleston: "By about 1840, more passengers and a greater tonnage of cargo came through the port of New York than all other major harbors in the country combined ... [Wikipedia]"

The only bad thing about Texas are the goofy sideways traffic lights and no clover leaf exit ramps.
