Answer 2

The Correct Answer is

High taxes on imports to increase the cost of imported goods

Step-by-step explanation:

• Northern colonies always had to compete against the foreign manufactured goods, a tax was imposed on all imported products sold in America.
• Protective tariff tax made imports expensive and prompted Americans to buy less costly commodities that are made in America.
• But Southern colonies felt the new higher tariffs benefited the Northern States, which had more manufacturing centers.
