What are the benefits of using tariffs over taxes to generate revenue for the government?
There are pluses and minuses in using tariffs for revenue to operate the government. Firstly, tariffs would not be enough to cover the cost of running a government in most cases. Secondly, if Country A places tariffs on goods being imported into their country, then all other Countries will also place such tariffs on goods imported into their Countries from Country A. These costs will of course be passed on to the purchasers of these imported goods inside all the Countries so the costs will still be passed on the people as they buy goods. One good outcome is it will make Country A's goods produced in Country A more competitive for the buyers within Country A. But it will also make their exported goods more costly in other Countries when they try to sell them there. And around and around we go.

Did the south or north have tariffs?
After the Constitution established the United States as a single country, only the federal government could impose tariffs on goods imported from other countries, and the states could not impose tariffs on imports or exports from each other. This agreement was made in the Constitution since the North and the South felt very different about tariffs. A tariff is a tax on imported goods, and the cost of the tax was passed on by the importing merchant to the customers, so tariffs made it more expensive to buy imported merchandise (and if the tariffs were high, even allowed U.S. manufacturers to raise their prices). People were more likely to buy more goods manufactured in the U.S. because tariffs had raised the prices of imports. Most of the factories in the early years of the U.S. were in the North. Therefore, higher tariff rates were supported in the Northern states, whose factory owners and employment rate benefited, and opposed by the Southern states, who had to pay more expensive prices without any benefit to themselves.
How do developed countries maintain an advantage over developing countries in international trade?
