"80% of the US federal tax revenue came from the south while most spending benefited the north"
That's super interesting was it mostly from cash crops? What benefits were paid to the north exclusively from that?
- brightball 8y agoI’ll have to go dig up the citation but if I recall the benefits were mostly paid out to the northern fishing industry. There are several really interesting reads on the economics aspects that go into much more detail.
