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.
For trying to protect their industry through tariffs on imported goods, which the South mostly needed, having no industry of their own. It looked like the North taxing the South, and it caused a lot of resentment.
In response to tariffs laid on South Carolina by President Andrew Jackson, a number of South Carolina citizens endorsed the states' rights to nullification of tariffs. South Carolina declared the tariffs of of 1828 and 1832 null and void through the Ordinance of Nullification. This led to President Jackson sending a small amount of naval vessels to South Carolina in November 1832.
The South, mainly South Carolina, was opposed to protective tariffs because they would sell most of their cotton to England.

The north approved protection for tariffs, people bought cheaper manufactured goods.
Tariffs dealt with their trade.
In the northeast, farms intended to be small, and the produce was usually marked locally.. As for the south, cotton production increased dramatically
the south opposed tariffs because they had to import all of their stuff from foreign countries
The North wanted to proetct its industry against foreign imports. The South only had cotton, and needed all kinds of imports. So the Tariffs were seen as a tax by the North on the South.
Tariffs heightened tensions between the North and South in the United States, as the North favored protective tariffs to support its industrial economy, while the South, reliant on agriculture and exports, viewed these tariffs as detrimental to their economic interests. The South perceived the tariffs as a means for the North to gain economic dominance, leading to feelings of resentment and alienation. This discord contributed to the growing sectionalism that ultimately played a significant role in the lead-up to the Civil War.
North had factories that made goods- they wanted higher tariffs on imports to protect their businesses from competition. The South wanted to be able to buy from the North OR from foreign markets, and wanted lower tariffs (lower prices for them to pay)
Because Tariffs deal with their trade... which is bad.
It wanted to protect its industry by levying tariffs (taxes) on cheap imports. The South had very little industry, and needed cheap imports. So the tariffs looked like a tax by the North on the South.
