Because it favored the North
The possibility of higher tariffs upset southerners because they relied heavily on the export of agricultural products, particularly cotton, which would become more expensive for foreign buyers if tariffs were imposed. Higher tariffs could lead to retaliatory measures from other countries, harming southern economies. Additionally, southerners viewed tariffs as favoring northern industrial interests at their expense, exacerbating regional tensions and contributing to the sense of economic inequality between the North and South.

They thought it was unfair
In the early 1800s, southerners opposed tariffs primarily because these taxes on imported goods increased the cost of manufactured items that they relied on, which were often produced in the North or imported from abroad. The South's economy was largely agrarian and dependent on exporting cotton, so they viewed tariffs as benefiting Northern industrial interests at their expense. Additionally, many southerners feared that high tariffs would lead to retaliatory measures from other countries, harming their export markets. This opposition contributed to increasing regional tensions that would eventually lead to the Civil War.
