1) states' rights- There was conflict between those who believed that the federal government should be more powerful than the state governments (the North) and those who believed that the state governments should be more powerful than the federal government (the South).
2) taxes- The federal government put a tariff on exports. This hurt the South because they produced agricultural goods, which they sent to other countries. With the extra tax, they had to raise their prices and the other countries started buying from other sources. The tax didn't hurt the North, however, because they produced industrial goods and sold within the country.
3) slavery- The southern states supported slavery, which was an important part of their economy. They depended on the slaves to work on plantations as free labor. The North recognized slaves as people and thought that they should not be owned by others and should be paid for their work.
Southerners thought the federal government was benefiting one region over another
Tariffs heightened tensions between the North and South in the pre-Civil War era, as the North, with its industrial economy, favored protective tariffs to support local industries. In contrast, the South, reliant on agriculture and importing goods, viewed these tariffs as economically burdensome and detrimental to their trade. This disagreement over tariffs symbolized broader issues of states' rights and economic disparities, contributing to the growing divide that ultimately led to the Civil War. The conflict over tariffs was thus a crucial element in the escalating sectional tensions between the two regions.
The issue of tariffs heightened tensions between the North and South primarily because the Northern economy was more industrialized and benefited from protective tariffs that shielded its manufacturers from foreign competition. In contrast, the Southern economy relied heavily on agriculture and imported goods, viewing tariffs as detrimental to their interests by raising prices on essential imports. This economic disparity fueled regional resentment and deepened the divide over issues of states' rights and federal authority, ultimately contributing to the growing conflict leading to the Civil War.
The actions of this man was important because the people in the North felt that he was a martyr. The man went to Harper's Ferry to get arms for slaves so that the slaves would rise against their masters. However, by doing this, the man was caught and executed.
Four key events that heightened tensions between the North and South in the United States were the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which attempted to balance slave and free states; the Compromise of 1850, particularly its Fugitive Slave Act; the publication of Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in 1852, which exposed the harsh realities of slavery; and the Dred Scott decision in 1857, which denied citizenship to African Americans and upheld the legality of slavery in the territories. Each of these events intensified debates over slavery and contributed to the growing divide between the two regions.
The government brought in the North American Tribe policy to deal with the growing conflicts between them and the Natives.
