Why were tariffs of national concern? They only involved businesses who traded. They hurt the north and helped the south. They divided the nation over the placement. They hurt the western settlers trying to expand.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is: C) They divided the nation over the placement.

The Tariff of 1812 was passed as a means to protect the economy of the Northern states that were being harmed by low-cost imported goods. This decision deeply hurted the Southerns since now they had to pay much higher prices for goods that their region did not produce. This divided the nation and led to the Nullification Crisis.
