In the mid-1800s, Southern planters and farmers were least likely to support tariffs. They relied heavily on imported goods and were concerned that tariffs would raise prices on these items, while also harming their export markets, particularly for cotton. Additionally, they believed that tariffs disproportionately benefited Northern industrialists at their expense.
