To let you know, in case you didn’t, the south had few factories, and were mostly agricultural, thus they had to import most of their stuff. That’s why when Lincoln blockaded the south during the war it was so effective. I don’t have time to analyze every subcategory of every item on your list, but I do know that when it came to building and repairing infrastructure, the North got a disproportionate amount of the benefits.
Which still doesn't explain what imported goods (to the exclusion of domestic goods) that the south, with a quarter of the population, was consuming in such quantity that they were paying the bulk of the tariff.

In other words, you expect me to accept your say-so instead of actually using data, even when I've laid it in front of you.
Like what?

Prior to the war the South didn't need to import arms and ammunition and other war supplies. Nor did they need to import items they used to buy from the North. You're talking apples and oranges here.

How disproportionate? If the South had 20% of the population and say, for the sake of argument, 80% of the government spending was in the rest of the country then is that disproportionate?
