First you offer up illogical bait, and then attempt a grand slam with misrepresentation.

I read the article. You were given the location for the statistics. You understand where the 83% originated.

You asked for the breakdown of imports by region. I will be glad to give you that information. But since the southern states imported both European goods as well as northern domestic manufactures, what will it tell you?

I'm asking for suppor for the claim that the South provided 83% of all tariff income. Either you can provide that or you can't.

And as far as imports go, any definition of the term would tell you that goods obtained from the North were not imports. So only European goods please. The amount that the Soutehrn states imported compared with national imports as a whole.
