Why? You are the one talking about this - not me. If you think exports of US cotton were taxed, provide your own supporting evidence. Do you have any at all? If so, please provide it, or simply say you have none.
It is simply illegal in the United States of America to tax exports from the States.
ummm, you responded to my post. i source my evidence of taxes levied against southern cotton.....but here goes again
"The
Tariff of 1828 was a protective
tariff passed by the
Congress of the United States on May 19, 1828, designed to protect industry in the
Northern United States. Created during the presidency of
John Quincy Adams and enacted during the presidency of
Andrew Jackson, it was labeled the
"Tariff of Abominations" by its
Southern detractors because of the effects it had on the Southern economy. It set a 38% tax on 92% of all imported goods and a 45% tax on raw materials, such as tobacco and cotton, two of the South's strongest commodities." "The major goal of the tariff was to protect the North's industries by heavily taxing goods from Europe AND the South." AND "The South was harmed directly by having to pay higher prices on goods the region did not produce, as well as a 45% tax on the raw goods its producers exported to the North." THE TARIFF OF 1846 Didnt remove the tax on raw cotton shipped north but lowered it to 25%.
been sourced AGAIN... now either source the proof that the USA had competition or admit you dont have any
