Hey
The Commerce Compromise addressed the conflict between Northern businessmen and Southern plantation owners over the issue of tariffs.
They depended on goods from Europe.
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.
The Northern states had put an end to the practices, at least officially they did, but most of the Framers from the Northern states were just so opposed to slavery as were some of the Framers from the Southern states too. However many farmers from the Southerns were still financially dependent on slavery and wanted it to be continued, so the Southerners believed that each state had a right to decide on the issues itself.
Tariffs and the southern perception of unfair representation. The north was heavily populated and thus ruled congress. Contrary to public belief, slavery was a VERY minor issue.

They hated tariffs. All they were making was cotton. Tariffs increased the cost of imports.
Richard Fitzhugh, a prominent Virginia plantation owner and proponent of the Southern economy, would likely react negatively to high tariffs. He would argue that such tariffs disproportionately harm the South by raising the cost of imported goods and stifling trade, particularly with Europe. Fitzhugh believed in an agrarian economy reliant on exports, so he would view high tariffs as detrimental to the profitability of Southern agriculture and a violation of states' rights. His views would align with the broader Southern opposition to tariffs during the antebellum period.
Most southern plantation owners were against tariffs because they relied heavily on importing goods, such as manufactured products from the North and Europe. Tariffs would increase the cost of these imports, making them more expensive for Southern consumers. Additionally, Southern economies depended on exporting cash crops like cotton, and they feared that tariffs could provoke retaliatory measures from other countries, harming their export markets. Consequently, they viewed tariffs as a threat to their economic interests and way of life.

NO the southern states did not like the tariffs.
Protective tariffs-Apex
Both northern and southern states in the United States had tariffs at different times, but they had differing perspectives on their use. The northern states generally supported tariffs to protect their burgeoning industries, while the southern states opposed them, as they relied on imported goods and feared tariffs would increase costs. This economic divide contributed to tensions leading up to the Civil War. Ultimately, the conflict over tariffs was part of the broader regional disputes between the North and the South.
