NORTH:Tariffs particularly favored the North and their manufacturing plants. By imposing a Protective Tariff on imports from foreign lands, the Northern manufacturers would benefit because since imports from foreign nations, say Britain, were now very expensive, natives would buy from the much cheaper Northern manufacturers. This is what it means to be "protective." It was "protecting" the factories in the North.
SOUTH:The South particularly disliked these tariffs because they did not have any interest in the North benefiting from their money. |

NORTH:New Mexico and Utah were mostly populated by non-Southerners who were not inclined to vote slavery in; while slavery itself was legal in DC the buying and selling of slaves were banned; Southern California remained free; no guarantee of slavery south of a territorial compromise line like the "36 degrees 30 minutes" line of the 1820 Missouri Compromise that if extended to the Pacific would have made slavery legal in Southern California and New Mexico.
SOUTH:The south got out from under the Wilmot Proviso and the agreement that New Mexico and Utah territories would get to choose for themselves whether not they would have slavery rather than have Congress decide, a stronger fugitive law, and preservation of slavery in DC. |

NORTH:Turner's rebellion demonstrated to the North the level of anger held by the enslaved, as well as the lengths freedom seekers were prepared to go for liberty.
SOUTH:Southerners, meanwhile, saw their own vulnerability in the most shocking way possible. Southerners, then, asserted more control over the enslaved by further restricting African American gatherings and travel. A feeling of paranoia and fear descended over Southern slaveholders as never before. |
