Tariffs divided the country since the founding of the United States of America. Northern states had factories which wanted protection from foreign goods. Southern states had cotton and tobacco that they wanted to sell to Europe which paid them higher prices.
The Commerce Compromise addressed the conflict between Northern businessmen and Southern plantation owners over the issue of tariffs.
They hated tariffs. All they were making was cotton. Tariffs increased the cost of imports.
In southern States.
no the southern states approved of slavery and the northern states dissapproved of slavery
Why were southern states against the higher tariffs enacted by Congress? It would make it more difficult to export crops. It would give northern farmers an economic advantage.
Refuse to pay the tariffs - Nullification of 1828.

The US Civil War was about many things. The politicians of the Northern states and the Southern states disagreed on issues such as slavery, tariffs, treaties, etc. The Southern states decided they could no longer work with the Northern states, and announced they were leaving the Union. The Northern states told them they could not leave (Secede). The Southern states decided to kick the Union military out of the South, and attacked Ft. Sumter in South Carolina. Game on.
Tariffs worked mostly (and probably only) for the Northern states.
