The Northeast/New England, due to it's large shipbuilding industry and production of finished goods, was much more constrained by British Mercantilist tariffs than the South was. Though the South had a large tobacco-export industry, the tariffs, particularly the Navigation Acts, were more focused on preventing colonies from manufacturing finished goods.
