The South exported, cotton, tobacco, lumber, and other goods to Europe in exchange for manufactured goods!. Because there was a high tariff on imported manufactured goods, and the South took in more imports than the North, Southerners paid a higher percentage share of taxes!. The Northern manufacturers were also using the tarfiff as a way for them to jack up prices on their goods, which would be just a little less expensive than those imported!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
