The Tariff.
Republicans and Democrats historically differed on the tariff issue primarily due to their economic interests and constituencies. Republicans generally supported higher tariffs to protect American industries and promote domestic manufacturing, aligning with business interests and industrial workers. In contrast, Democrats tended to advocate for lower tariffs to benefit consumers and farmers, who relied on imported goods and faced higher prices due to protective tariffs. This fundamental disagreement reflected broader ideological divides regarding the role of government in the economy.
