After the war the congress again passed huge tariffs which only raped the souths economy. I mean, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this stuff out.

Vinnie, can you tell me how a tariff 'rapes' the South but leaves the North virgin? Was there anything in the tariff that kept the south from building its own factories?

Look at a map of the United States. Now, what region has the most coastline and warm weather ports.
