Since the tariff was a tax on iron and cotton, the South would presumably go against the tariff. The North loved the tariff because it stopped some of the foreign factories, by making the owner of the raw products ship the products to another factory(likely in the North). John C Calhoun disliked the tariff because he felt that it favored only one part of the nation.
The Americans that benefited the most from the Tariff of 1816 were the manufacturers. The western and northern states, having a strong industrial base, strongly supported the tariff.

The South was prosperous in 1816 and the manufacturers who needed the tariff for support were hurting. In 1820, the South was hurting and the manufacturers were already getting rich. The South was the one paying most of the bill on the tariff. Also, the threat from English in Louisiana and Florida was diminished after the 1812 war was long over and many treaties were signed. Relations between the South and England greatly strengthened from 1816 to 1860, while the North wanted tariffs. The south relied on England to buy its slave plantation agriculture.
The tariff of 1816 was the first tariff passed in the United States. It was proposed by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Dallas to help American manufacturers. It was approved in 1816 and was to last only until 1820. Southern states opposed it because they sold their cotton in Great Britain.
The Northwest generally supported the Tariff of 1816 as it protected their growing industries. The South, however, was opposed to the tariff as it increased the cost of imported goods that the region relied on and favored Northern manufacturing.

The protective Tariff of 1816 is also known as the Dallas Tariff. It is noteworthy because it marks the first time that congress passed a tariff to protect American manufacturers instead of just to raise money.

They felt bad
he changed the country
New England manufacturers begin to worry about competing with foreign goods after the War of 1812. They pushed for a tariff on these imported goods to protect themselves. This resulted in the passage of the Tariff of 1816.
