The premiums for the agriculture products shipped to the north were paid at a pitiful rate and the north was charging exorbitant rates and taxes for the building and industrial products the south needed...

I suspect you're projecting post-Civil War depressed South conditions back onto the pre-war very prosperous South.
To see how wrong that is, consider this Mississippi "Reasons for Secession" explanation:

Note that Mississippians in 1861 were most concerned about protecting slavery.
They never mentioned "premiums", "rates" or "taxes".
