I suspect that you are referring to the years prior to the Civil War.  John C. Calhoun has often be referred to as the spokes person for this issue.  In particular you might access a copy (there are many such references on the internet) what is named the South Carolina Exposition of 1828, which was written by former Vice President Calhoun.\nFollowing is one summary of this issue and John C. Calhoun.\n\nCalhoun, John Caldwell (1782-1850), American statesman and political philosopher. From 1811 until his death he served in the federal government, successively as congressman, secretary of war, vice president, senator, secretary of state, and again as senator. Always he was at the heart of the issues of his time, notably the nullification crisis and the conflict over slavery. Loyal to his nation, to his state of South Carolina, and, above all, to his principles, he sought to preserve the union while advancing Southern interests.\nEarly Career. Born in Abbeville district, S.C., on March 18, 1782, Calhoun grew up in an atmosphere of controversy and social change. The extension of cotton culture was bringing slavery into the up-country, where small farmers like his father were challenging the political dominance of the low-country planters. Calhoun was largely self-educated before he entered Yale as a junior in 1801. He graduated with honors in 1804; went on to law school, in Litchfield, Conn.; and was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1807.\nPracticing in his native district, he quickly gained the reputation that took him to the state legislature. There, from 1809 to 1811, he helped establish an enduring balance of power between South Carolina's tidewater planters and piedmont farmers.\nCalhoun's own future, both socially and economically, was assured by his marriage in 1811 to a wealthy cousin, Floride Bonneau Calhoun. The couple settled at Abbeville, moving in 1825 to the Fort Hill plantation near Pendleton, the future site of Clemson University.\nNational Politics. Calhoun entered Congress in 1811. He was one of the group of young nationalists urging war with Britain to redeem America's honor. Calhoun introduced the war report of 1812, and throughout the contest he urged measures to strengthen the armed forces and to finance the war. When hostilities were over he proposed reconstruction measures and supported what came to be known as the "American System"—a combination of protective tariff, internal transportation, and national bank. As secretary of war in James Monroe's cabinet, he contributed significantly to the reorganization of the Army and to the extension of the Western frontier.\nIn 1824, Calhoun was elected vice president of the United States with support from both the Adams and Jackson factions. He served under the victorious John Quincy Adams, but in 1828 he supported Andrew Jackson and was again elected to the vice presidency when Jackson won the presidency.\nBetween the close of the War of 1812 and the election of 1828, the American scene had changed radically. A postwar depression had aroused a hard core of hostility against the Bank of the United States and had brought the first of a long series of increases in the tariff. The perennial question of state versus national power had been reopened by a series of centralizing Supreme Court decisions, while the Missouri Compromise of 1821 revealed an unsuspected depth of sectional cleavage over slavery.\nAlthough the cultivation of new lands contributed to overproduction and falling prices, the Southern cotton planters blamed their misfortunes on the tariff, which by raising the cost of manufactured goods tended to depress the foreign market for their own staple. In South Carolina, men talked ominously of calculating the value of the union. The very high Tariff of 1828 drove the cotton states to the verge of rebellion. Calhoun had turned against the tariff after 1824, but Jackson's position was equivocal. To advise the incoming preside

Southern states there is inbreeding which makes for mental defect, we in the north are working, honest people that know that the Repuglicans are no more moral or upright then the democrats, but the repuglicans favor big business in every legislation, the tax cut for the very rich being an example. The democrats tend to want to help the poor and middle class. Like raising the minimum wages and such.

The Underwood Tariff Act was passed by Congress in 1913 during the administration of Woodrow Wilson that lowered tariffs on hundreds of items that could be produced more cheaply in the United States than abroad. Sponsored by Representative Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama (1862-29), the tariff reduced the rates of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff (1909) by about 10 percent. As the first bill since the Civil War to lower tariff rates, the Underwood Tariff included an income tax to make up for the loss in revenues caused by the lower tariffs.

Even though I live in the south, I would have been on the Union side.  I don't believe one person can "own and sell" another person.

Look at the map.  Notice that China is way, way over there, on the other side of the Pacific, while Cuba is within spitting distance of Florida.\n\nGeography is pretty important when it comes to questions of national policy.  Anyone who calls it hypocrisy isn't paying attention.

Hey, I am from the South....and his response was widely known!  It was called The Civil War....the south raised taxes on its goods, ie cotton, tobacco.  Also, he had been misinformed on why the south seceded.

Not necessarily.  Duke, the University of Texas,  Georgia Tech,  William and Mary and the University of Virginia all jump to mind as top school in Southern states.  There are many others too.  Of course, the North has very good schools too.

The Iron Curtain as we knew it is gone.\n\nAnd yes, there still are large differences between North and South in the USA.

Are you talking about destination charge?  Thats a cost passed on to the consumer for transportation of the product from the plant where it was manufactured. If it was manuf'd in the south, then the transport cost will increase as you move north.

Even though I am an American I have to agree with you.  So many people in this country take what we have for granted.  The south has always been labeled as an area of high discrimination..but I have been all around this country and trust me..it exists just as much in the north and out west as it does here..I think its the American philosophy of me me me..and if you are not like me then you are against me..its a sad thing but luckily not all Americans are like that!

Our tarriffs aren't nearly high enough.  Due to NAFTA CAFTA, and our mind boggling trade deficit with China, I could vomit.\n    We need to bring back protectionism.
