Why was distribution a conflict between the south and the north?

Distribution was a conflict between the South and the North primarily due to differing economic interests and social structures. The South relied heavily on agriculture, particularly cotton, and sought policies that would protect their agricultural economy, including low tariffs. In contrast, the North was more industrialized and favored tariffs and policies that would support manufacturing and infrastructure development. This fundamental economic divide contributed to tensions that ultimately fueled the broader conflict leading to the Civil War.


What was the main reason the civil war fought?

Eventually, everything boils down to Slavery. The States Rights that southern states promoted was a euphemism for their right to own, buy, and sell slaves. The differences in economic systems between North and South is a difference between a vast wage-based industrial complex and a vast slave-based agricultural complex. The industrial North favored high tariffs to protect American industries. The South favored low tariffs to sell cotton buy cheap goods overseas. Without slaves the large plantation system could not have existed.
