"What exactly were the Japanese keeping us from importing?" This is not the place to debate WWII.
The key point to remember, for this discussion, is that WWII began for US when Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, just as Civil War began when Confederates attacked Fort Sumter.
Very similar situations.

Indeed they were. Both the Japanese and Southern Confederates launching wars they couldn't have possibly hoped to win. And wars that led to the ruination of both.
