What other reason was there to retain a military presence in the mother of all tariff collecting ports in the south again

Charleston was the "mother of all tariff collecting ports in the south"? It was a DISTANT second among southern ports, with only about 15% of New Orleans collections, and the top nine tariff-collecting ports in the south together collected less than a tenth of what was collected in New York. Charleston collected less than 1% of what New York did.

Last I checked, Bubba, NYC wasnt (and still isn't) in the south, so what's your point there? Is this another attempt to divert the entire discussion away from the main focus because you object to my wording of "mother of all points" to describe the second largest tariff port in the south (via your stats)? It takes a little longer to send 75,000 troops all the way down to LA than it does SC, but they sure got around to it.

Was this post supposed to tell any of use here anything? You've effectively skipped over referenced, factual responses to every one of your lies here, but you pop your head up again to say "AHA! Charleston was #2, not #1 - gotcha!"???

Care to apologize to everyone for your lies about Dred Scott yet? It might not make a difference since we've all witnessed the extent you'll focus on insignificant points to distract from the important facts that blow you're lies out of the water...but the effort at humility would be nice.
