Military installations in the South were set up to enforce the collection of tariffs.

I don't know if it was set up like that, but from what I understand almost all the tariff duties collected by FedGov™ were from Southern ports. I think I read the Charleston alone collected more tariffs than all the Northern ports combined.

That is simply not true. Very little was collected in Southern ports.
