The over-dependence of the South on its cotton exports. It had no manufacturing base, and had to import everything it needed.

How did the bank war and tariff controversy contribute to sectionalism and debate over the states' rights?
As the South found it increasingly hard to get new territories admitted to the Union as slave-states, they were increasingly outvoted in Congress. This enabled the industrialised North to protect its manufacturing sector by raising tariffs on imports. The South, having almost no manufacturing industry, needed imports much more than the North did. So the tariffs looked embarrassingly like the North directly taxing the South. That is why South Carolina refused the pay the tariffs, claiming States' Rights - the right of one state to over-rule Federal law.

These divisions ultimately contributed to the growing tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.
What major issues and events created dissension between the north and south that started with the controversy over the Missouri Compromise and ended with the succession of the southern states?
When President Andrew Jackson allowed tariffs for manufacturing trade in the North, the South opposed the new taxes because it increased the price of imported goods. The tariffs caused financial problems in the South. American goods could be sold cheaper than British goods. The people in the North could make a good profit and people from other countries chose more American goods which made American trade stronger. On the other hand since the south's economy was based on agriculture they had to pay extra for manufactured products from the North. It wasn't fair to the south when the North was gaining money and that they were suffering from the tariffs.

Is this True or false the nullification crisis was caused by a dispute over the tariff?
During President Jackson's period of office the "Nullification Crisis", or "secession crisis," of 1828 - 1832, merged issues of sectional strife with disagreements over tariffs. Critics alleged that high tariffs (the "Tariff of Abominations") on imports of common manufactured goods made in Europe made those goods more expensive than ones from the northern U.S., raising the prices paid by planters in the South. Southern politicians argued that tariffs benefited northern industrialists at the expense of southern farmers."
