The agricultural South opposed protective tariffs because the region had little industry to protect. Southern states relied heavily on agriculture and imported goods, and they viewed tariffs as economically burdensome, raising prices on necessary imports without providing any benefits to their own economy. This opposition contributed to tensions between the South and the industrialized North in the years leading up to the Civil War.
