Southern states were concerned about Congress controlling foreign trade because they relied heavily on exports of their agricultural products, particularly cotton, and feared that federal regulations could negatively impact their economies. They worried that Congress might impose tariffs or trade restrictions that would favor northern industrial interests over southern agricultural needs. Additionally, there was a fear that federal control could lead to interference with the institution of slavery, which was integral to the southern economy. This concern contributed to the broader tensions between northern and southern states leading up to the Civil War.

Northern and southern states compromised on Congress's power over foreign trade and taxes during the Constitutional Convention by agreeing to allow Congress to regulate interstate and foreign commerce while placing limits on its ability to impose export taxes. This compromise addressed the northern states' interest in promoting trade and commerce while protecting the southern states' agricultural economy, which relied heavily on exports. Additionally, the agreement included a provision that prohibited Congress from banning the slave trade for a specified period, further easing tensions between the two regions.
