Thanks, I printed out pages 884-885 and hold them here, as Rush would say, in my formerly nicotine stained fingers.
Your data confirms one very important element of my overall argument: total exports for 1860 were $400 million.
It means that Deep South cotton accounted for roughly 50% of all US exports that year.
PeaRidge: "With regard to the Agricultural Product by State link, it gives you all the export data by port, type, value, and year."
I have seen and reported to you here on Debow's numbers by port, etc.
They do not tell us which state originated products shipped from Southern ports like New Orleans or Baltimore.
But studying such numbers as we do have, I conclude that most non-cotton products exported from New Orleans & Baltimore originated in Union states, not the Deep South.
You said: “Your data confirms one very important element of my overall argument: total exports for 1860 were $400 million.”
That number is the total, but includes specie of undetermined source and international reexports from other countries being transshipped through US ports.
So, if you want to make some point about the percentage of Southern produced goods measured against the total export value of 1860, the you will have to use the number $316,000,000. (See page 885, column 5.)
