The tariff applied to all goods entering the USA. But the South had no industry, and needed imported goods much more than the North, which was trying to protect its own manufacturing sector.

So it did look as though the North was taxing the South, and this caused resentment.

How did the north and south differ on the issue of tarrif's?

The North and South had opposing views on tariffs in the antebellum period. The North favored high tariffs to protect its burgeoning industrial economy from foreign competition and to generate revenue for the federal government. In contrast, the South, which relied heavily on agriculture and imported goods, opposed tariffs as they raised prices on essential products and hampered trade. This economic divide contributed to growing tensions between the two regions leading up to the Civil War.

Do you need a north or south magnet to stick to the fridge?

There are not separate north and south magnets; each magnet has both a north end and a south end. These can't be separated. Putting a magnet against a normal (non-magnetized) piece of iron, like the refrigerator, works no matter in what direction (north or south) you put it; the magnetism of the magnet will temporarily induce magnetism in the refrigerator in this case.
