The South, being primarily agricultural, opposed tariffs, because, unable to manufacture the goods they needed, had to import them from Europe or buy them from the North. In the view of the South, tariffs made everything more expensive, and thought that there was unequal distribution of the money derived from the imposition of the tariff. The North favored the tariff, believing it protected domestic industries from unfair foreign competition.

Although die-hard "lost cause" modern confederates don't like it, Lincoln was a moderate on tariffs until the War required higher tariffs to finance it. Lincoln was originally a Whig and a Midwesterner where moderate tariffs were the accepted view. The fact that everyone knows Lincoln's views on slavery but almost no one correctly knows his views on tariffs helps to demonstrate that the Civil War was not about tariffs.
