You did not read the passage.

Was the south taxed or tariffed?...No they weren't. They opposed the high tariff on foreign goods and got their way to have it lowered in the 1850s.

"Was the south taxed or tariffed(sic)?...No they weren't. They opposed the high tariff on foreign goods and got their way to have it lowered in the 1850s."
