The correct statement regarding Southern support for tariffs is: **"were opposed to high tariffs on imports as it would disturb their economy."**
Southerners typically opposed high tariffs because the Southern economy relied heavily on the importation of goods and on exporting their agricultural products. High tariffs would increase the cost of imported goods and negatively impact their economy, which was largely based on agriculture and dependent on trade.
