The CS constitution exemption on prohibition on importing slaves granted to slave states in US discouraged the border states from seceding. Allowing free navigation of the Mississippi river discouraged Midwest states from seceding. If not for this the border and Midwest states would have joined the CSA. US tariffs benefits were concentrated in the northeast while raising the price of goods for Midwesterners and southerners alike.
