Question 68
In US history, the South relied on imported goods and exported agricultural products (like cotton). Tariffs made imports more expensive and could lead to retaliatory tariffs on their exports. New England, West, and Middle Atlantic had more manufacturing or diverse economies that sometimes benefited from tariffs. So the South opposed tariffs.
During the antebellum period, British textile mills were major consumers of cotton due to their large - scale textile production industry. Southern factories were not the main consumers as the South was more of a cotton - producing region. New England textile mills also used cotton but British mills had a very high demand. Continental Europe's textile industry was not as large - scale in cotton consumption as British mills at that time.
