Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

Because importation was often cheaper than shipping from the North, the South paid most of the federal tariffs. Much of the tariff revenue collected from Southern consumers was used to build railroads and canals in the North. Between 1830 and 1850, 30,000 miles of track were laid.
