You keep confusing imports with exports. U.S. Tariffs had no effect on Illinois exports.
Many people supported tariffs even though it would hurt them personally because they believed them good for the nation as a whole.
At the Founding representatives from all regions supported a tariff Madison and Jefferson as well as Hamilton.
But I did not mean to say that a tariff hurt those Northern states as much as Southern states. I meant to say that they effected farmers in the same way North or South. Thanks for the correction.
Wrong and wrong. Exports are necessarily effected by import tariffs as import tariffs alter both the costs at which exporters produce and the market on which they trade their goods. When one stops so does the other.
Many people supported tariffs even though it would hurt them personally because they believed them good for the nation as a whole.
Delusions such as those are not a matter of concern to me. What is a matter of concern though is (1) the fact that southerners consistently opposed tariffs as a region throughout the antebellum period and (2) that you misrepresent history if and when you suggest otherwise.

You are obfuscating. The first tariff act in 1789 was for revenue purposes and was instituted at that time because the government needed tax money. Only three years later and southern opposition to tariffs had emerged. The tariff vote on April 19, 1792 to impose an expiration date on the tariff bill showed the clear sectional division for the first time. 19 out of 22 southerners favored it. 29 out of 42 northerners opposed it. The same trend persisted in 1820, 1824, 1828, 1832, 1842 and so forth.
