Answer:
1. Individual states' rights
2. Low tariffs
3. Secession
Explanation:

2. The South produced many crops such as cotton, sugar, rice, and tobacco. Foreign trade was crucial to the southern economy, so they favored low tariffs to keep foriegn goods cheap and to foster trade with other countries.
3. The Confederacy felt that it had the right to secede, or leave, the United States to form their own nation. They felt that the northern states had treated them unfairly by their imposition of high tariffs and opposition to slavery, therefore, it was time to create their own country.
