So the tariff issue was more than just “northern industry imposition on southern agriculture.”

In actual fact, the effect of tariffs on southern planters was exactly the same as the effect on northern farmers, who were a considerable majority of the population even in the North.

The hilarious part of the issue is the notion that if the South had won its independence it wouldn’t have taken action to protect its own infant industries, as the USA did after the War of 1812 showed what a bad idea it was to buy much of your military hardware from a potential enemy.
