False.
The Tariff of 1816 primarily benefited the North, which was more industrialized and had a vested interest in protecting American manufacturing. The South, on the other hand, was largely agrarian and relied on imports, so the tariff negatively impacted them by raising the cost of goods. The West was influenced as well, but the overall impact was not equal among the regions.
