The Whigs believed in a strong central government, a bonding of the United States by improved transportation and communication, and developing industry. The tools they used to achieve these were a central bank, a strong protective tariff and opposition to slavery in new territories. Tariffs were a major source of income for the federal government. They were unpopular in the south which lived by exporting cotton and tobacco and popular in the north since they made it easier for manufacturers to compete with overseas suppliers.
