Calhoun
Thomas Jefferson! By Tamia Jerhann Alcorn
The South, mainly South Carolina, was opposed to protective tariffs because they would sell most of their cotton to England.
Georgia's agricultural economy depended on trade.
Vice Presiden John C. Calhoun, along with various southern states, opposed the tariff, believing it to be unconstitutional, favoring one sector of the economy over another. They felt the protective features on tariffs were harmful to southern agrarian interests.
During the Civil War, the South opposed protective tariffs. Southern states relied heavily on agriculture and international trade, particularly cotton exports, and viewed tariffs as harmful to their economy. They believed that protective tariffs favored Northern industries at their expense, leading to increased prices for goods and reduced competitiveness in international markets.
The agricultural South opposed protective tariffs because the region had little industry to protect. Southern states relied heavily on agriculture and imported goods, and they viewed tariffs as economically burdensome, raising prices on necessary imports without providing any benefits to their own economy. This opposition contributed to tensions between the South and the industrialized North in the years leading up to the Civil War.
The South strongly opposed high tariffs because their economy relied heavily on agriculture, particularly the export of cotton and other crops. High tariffs increased the cost of imported goods, which hurt Southern consumers and raised prices on necessary products. Additionally, the South feared that tariffs favored Northern industry at their expense, exacerbating regional economic disparities and fostering resentment towards the federal government. This opposition was rooted in a desire to protect their economic interests and maintain their way of life.

In the years leading up to the Civil War, Southern states largely opposed protective tariffs. They argued that such tariffs favored Northern industrial interests at the expense of the agricultural economy of the South, which relied heavily on imports. Southern leaders believed that high tariffs increased costs for consumers and hindered trade, particularly in the cotton market. This opposition to tariffs was a significant factor contributing to the growing tensions between the North and South.
Most northern states supported protective tariffs leading up to the Civil War, as these tariffs benefited their industrial economy by protecting local manufacturers from foreign competition. Northern industrialists argued that such tariffs would promote domestic production and create jobs. In contrast, southern states, reliant on agriculture and imports, opposed these tariffs, viewing them as detrimental to their economy. This economic divide contributed to rising tensions between the North and South.
Jeannette Rankin was the first woman to be a member of the U.S. Congress; she was a very outspoken anti-war activist and strongly opposed World War I.
The Democratic-Republican party favored strong state governments, an economy based on agriculture, strict interpretation of the constitution, and opposed protective tariffs and a national bank.
