12. Civil War: Causes Tariffs
The South was producing cotton and selling it to the North as well as to England.
Northern manufacturers were producing cloth they wanted to sell in the South. However it was more expensive for the North to produce goods than England because they were better industrialized.
The North wanted a protective tariff placed on imported goods thus raising England’s prices on goods.

13. Civil War: Causes Tariffs
Southerners and Northerners both would have to pay more for manufactured goods imported from overseas, which would help sales of products made in the U.S.
The South protested that the national government did not have the right to do this.
However, the Constitution gives the Congress the power to pass import taxes (export taxes are forbidden)
