Economically, the basic quarrel was over taxes and tariffs imposed both by the Northern industrialists and the Federal Government against the South in an attempt to keep cotton flowing to northern mills and not put into European mills, which would weaken the Southern economy. And if the tariffs and taxes were not paid,there was talk of confiscation of property to satisfy the taxes and tariffs. Also the fact that the North controlled not only the cotton mills but also the shipping and transportation of the cotton between the North and South played heavily into the equation. The South saw this as an attempt of the North to get rich off the South and as unfair interstate commerce. The taxes and tariffs were also put into place as a way to force the South to pay an unequal a share of the taxes and tariffs as the North. When Lincoln was elected, the major southern newspapers of the day said that Lincoln would begin confiscating southern property in order to satisfy tax and tarriff requirements. Other causes were nullification of state laws by the Feds and Missouri Compromise which would determine whether the North of South had control of the Congress and Senate, which gave the appearance of more unfair taxes, tariffs and property confiscation.
