5. Tariffs
A tariff is a tax against companies that are outside of the U.S. These companies pay the tax in order to sell stuff in the U.S.
In the U.S., tariffs made sure that American made things were bought over things made other places in the world.

6. Northern Factories!

7. Tariffs EXAMPLE: The north could sell tools for $5.00
Other countries could sell the same tools for $ but then they had a $2.00 tariff (tax) - to make it cost $6.00.
What are you going to buy, tools that were made in the North or the tools made in other countries?

8. Tariffs
The Southerners got mad because the Tariffs helped the Northern factories make money, but it hurt the South because things started to cost more! They wanted to be able to buy factory goods from Europe instead of the North.

9. STATES’ RIGHTS
Southern states did not want the Federal Government to decide if they can or cannot have slavery.
Southern states did not want the Federal Government to put tariffs on things that only help the North.
SOUTHERNERS THOUGHT THE STATES SHOULD DECIDE THESE LAWS, NOT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!!!

10. Southerners
If the Federal Government is not working for them, then what should the south do?

11. Southerners Secede
Southerners decided to Secede!!!
Secede - to leave a country and create your own country!

Some Southerners thought slaves had a good life.
The South thought that the federal government was not working for them, so they seceded - became their own country!
