DESCRIPTION
Tariffs Benefit the North Protective tariffs, or import duties on manufactured goods stirred problems between the North & the South. Northern industries wanted high tariffs in order to protect their factories and laborers from cheaper European products. Demanding that "American laborers shall be protected against the labor of Europe,” The vast majority of American industry was located in the northern states, whereas the economies of the agricultural southern states were based on the export of raw materials and the importation of manufactured goods. The South held few manufacturing concerns, and southerners had to pay higher prices for goods in order to subsidize northern profits. The South also worried that Europeans would in turn, tax back the goods they exported to them.
