The South had one true commodity to sell to the world, cotton. and Southerners relied heavily on Briatin and other European nations to buy its cotton. Because of this the South did not invest in manufacturing, only in agriculture. In return, the South relied on European made manufactured goods. With a tariff in place, it made these items much more costly to them. This created anger towards the Northern states who could then sell its manufactured goods at a high price, yet still under the taxed imports.
