They hated tariffs. All they were making was cotton. Tariffs increased the cost of imports.
In the years before the Civil War, the Northern states, particularly Pennsylvania and New York, were most likely to favor higher tariffs. These states had industrial economies that benefited from protective tariffs, which shielded their manufacturers from foreign competition. Conversely, Southern states, reliant on agriculture and exports, typically opposed high tariffs as they increased the cost of imported goods and could provoke retaliatory measures from foreign markets.
Both northern and southern states in the United States had tariffs at different times, but they had differing perspectives on their use. The northern states generally supported tariffs to protect their burgeoning industries, while the southern states opposed them, as they relied on imported goods and feared tariffs would increase costs. This economic divide contributed to tensions leading up to the Civil War. Ultimately, the conflict over tariffs was part of the broader regional disputes between the North and the South.
The civil war was a time from 1861 - 1865 where the union states (North) and the states of the confederacy (South) fought. There were many causes of the civil war, including differences between northern and southern states on the idea of slavery, as well as trade, tariffs, and states rights.
Tariffs brought in money for the Union and the Confederacy.
Southern states opposed tariffs primarily because they relied heavily on agriculture and exportation of goods, particularly cotton. Tariffs increased the cost of imported goods, which disproportionately affected southern consumers who needed to buy manufactured items. Additionally, southern states felt that tariffs favored northern industrial interests at their expense, leading to economic inequality and resentment towards the federal government. This opposition was a significant factor in the broader tensions that contributed to the Civil War.

The northern and southern states split up due to differing views on issues such as slavery, tariffs, and states' rights. These differences led to growing tensions that eventually escalated into the American Civil War in 1861.
The US Civil War was about many things. The politicians of the Northern states and the Southern states disagreed on issues such as slavery, tariffs, treaties, etc. The Southern states decided they could no longer work with the Northern states, and announced they were leaving the Union. The Northern states told them they could not leave (Secede). The Southern states decided to kick the Union military out of the South, and attacked Ft. Sumter in South Carolina. Game on.
Well slavery was a big part of the southern secession.

Slavery existed everywhere before the civil war. The Southern States used slavery more than the northern states. Southern States grew cotton and needed people to pick for them. Northern States ran factories and hired white people.
Because it favored the North
Prior to the US Civil War, Southern states were sometimes referred to as slave holding states. Technically and in reality, until the Civil War, all US states were called US states. This is not some way to marginalize the antebellum period of the US.
The main industry in the Southern States was farming. The most prevalent crops were cotton and tobacco. The Southern States, before the Civil War, sold these crops to the Northern States and in European markets.
Enslaved African Americans composed about one third of the population of the southern states before the American Civil War.
