Detailed explanation-1: -Southern states such as South Carolina contended that the tariff was unconstitutional and were opposed to the newer protectionist tariffs, as they would have to pay, but Northern states favored them because they helped strengthen their industrial-based economy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Northern industrialists favored protective tariffs because they allowed the manufactured goods they produced domestically to be sold at a lower cost than foreign goods imported into the United States.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The North had become industrialized, so having high tariffs on foreign products meant that people had to buy domestically, i.e. from the North. The South, on the other hand, was still agricultural. This meant they had to buy any and all manufactured goods.
Detailed explanation-4: -The tariff sought to protect northern and western agricultural products from competition with foreign imports; however, the resulting tax on foreign goods would raise the cost of living in the South and would cut into the profits of New England’s industrialists.
