During the Civil War, tariffs were primarily supported by the Northern states, which had industrial economies that benefited from protectionist measures. The Republican Party, led by figures like Abraham Lincoln, advocated for higher tariffs to protect American industries from foreign competition and to generate revenue for the war effort. In contrast, Southern states, reliant on agriculture and exports, opposed these tariffs, viewing them as detrimental to their economic interests. This divide over tariffs reflected broader economic and political tensions between the North and South.
