Best Answer

When Congress passed protective tariffs to help Northern industries develop, many Southerners were forced to pay higher prices for imported goods they needed. The tariffs being high, caused the South to buy almost strictly from Northern industries and often those prices were high as well. This issue divided the North and the South. As far back as President Jackson's time, South Carolina, as an example tried too nullify US tariff laws.
