- cotton

- antislavery

- tariff

Explanation:

The North and the South had went into different directions relatively soon after their formation. They were dependent on each other economically, mostly because of the products such as cotton, but their political and trade views differed a lot. The North was supportive of the antislavery, while the South was supportive of the slavery. The reason behind this is that the North was much closer ideologically with England, and also didn't really needed the labor force of the slaves. The South on the other hand desperately needed the labor force of the slaves for its vast farmlands, so it was supporting the slavery. The North also was supportive of the tariffs, while the South wasn't. The North was supporting the tariffs as it was good for its economic development, while the South had losses because of the tariffs so understandably it was against them.
