Question
choose the best answer.
what was another issue upon which the north and south disagreed that intensified sectional feeling?
clout
natural resources
tariffs
The North supported tariffs to protect its manufacturing industry from foreign competition, while the South opposed them because tariffs raised the cost of imported goods they relied on and reduced foreign demand for their cotton exports. This disagreement deepened sectional tensions between the Northern and Southern U.S. states before the Civil War. "Clout" refers to influence, which is not a specific sectional issue, and natural resource disputes were not a major pre-war sectional flashpoint compared to tariffs.
