Answer:

Tariffs encouraged Americans living in the north to buy domestic goods, that is, manufactured in the American territory, instead of buying imported goods, since these from tariffs had a higher cost for citizens, while American made goods were cheaper. This, in turn, encouraged American industrial production, which led to a process of productive substitution that allowed the United States to become the industrial power that it is today.
