to reduce competition from foreign grain producers


In the years before the Civil War which state was most likely to favor higher tariffs?

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.

Why were northeasterners in favor of tariffs while southerners were not?

Northeasterners favored tariffs because they protected their burgeoning industries from foreign competition, allowing local businesses to thrive and create jobs. In contrast, southerners opposed tariffs as they relied heavily on imported goods and agricultural exports; tariffs raised the cost of foreign products while potentially provoking retaliatory measures against Southern exports. This economic divide underscored the differing interests and priorities between the industrial North and the agrarian South.
