During the war, the South was hardly able to import or export anything, because of the Union blockade.
The tax debate was really a pre-war issue, and one of the big factors that led to war.
Taxing imported and exported goods had different effects on the North and South during the Civil War. The North, which had a more industrialized economy, benefited from protective tariffs that helped stimulate domestic manufacturing. On the other hand, the agrarian South heavily relied on exporting its cotton, and these tariffs hurt their economy. Additionally, the Union blockade of southern ports further hindered the southern economy's ability to trade globally.
The British argued that they had lost so much money during the French and Indian War that they needed to tax the colonists to get it back.

No, a tariff on an imported or exported good is a denied power of Congress. Therefore Congress can not tax exported goods due to the Constitution. The above answer is partially wrong. Congress has the power to tax imports and tariff applications are a fundamental part of understanding early United States History. However, he is correct in that Article I, Section 9, Clause 5 specifically prohibits Congress from levying an export tax. Congress currently applies a number of indirect export taxes and these have been upheld by the courts because they do not specifically target exporters or exported goods. (An example would be taxes on computers and medical supplies, of which a large percentage of production is exported, but since all computers, and not just exported computers, are taxed, it is an indirect tax).
Answer: The colonists opposed this act because it was the first act that taxed the colonists individually. All the others were taxing exported goods. Hope it helped! (:Sources: My history book
