The tariff enacted in May 1861 slapped a tariff on virtually every conceivable import including things like all types of clothing, iron goods, tobacco products, and cotton fabrics.

The following site says the 1861 Confederate tariff only generated 3.5 million dollars revenue in four years. Tax Revenue. Most of the Confederate government income came from bonds and loans. I was surprised to see a picture of a Confederate $100 bill on this site -- I have about 10 of that particular bill with the train and lady.

Thanks for the information on the Supreme Court.

Here is a link that shows the tariff legislation with all the different rates and what was covered. If if wasn't much of a money maker then perhaps it's due in part to the blockade and in part to the fact that the southern market for imported goods was small to begin with. But mainly the blockade.
