I agree the Federalist were pro tariffs. They way my understanding of the situation the Jefferson anti federalist were pragmatic and didn’t oppose or promote tariffs but were against direct taxation of the people. So it was benign approval.

Jefferson was anti-tariff before his Presidency but became more pragmatic when in office. Jefferson’s ideological disciples (J.C. Calhoun) were vehemently anti-tariff.
