Tobacco taxes and European immigration in 19th century notes

Kentucky planter representative asserts US leaf tobacco value at 35 million dollars with 500 600 000 pounds grown annually while US taxes on tobacco reach 163 million across Europe. March tax take is 3 234 009 with Europe’s open markets noted for England and monopolies elsewhere. Manufacturing growth and high point cotton factory expansion alongside steady immigrant influx from Germany and northern Europe accompany reflections on gentlemanly virtue and moral exhortations.
