The purpose was to protect manufacturing industry - nearly all of it being in the North.

The South, having almost no manufacturing industry, needed far more imports.

So the effects were that the tariffs were seen as a tax on the South, levied by a Northern-dominated Congress. This raised the incentive for the South to break away and live on its massive cotton exports.
