Explain which region of the country, north, south, or west favored tariffs and why or which region opposed tariffs and why

It really depends on the specific time period and what kind of tariffs to have an exact answer, but in general the North and West were more pro-tariff, while the South and East opposed them. The Western colonies/states relied heavily on trade with their large plantations of money-crops like tobacco and sugar, and thus saw tariffs as hurting profits from trade. The North did not produce as much crops due to the colder climate and rocky soil, so they saw tariffs as a way to support the national and state governments (After the United States was established). The west similarly did not have as much emphasis on trade, as it was too far from the coast to benefit from trade routes in Europe, thus they sometimes leaned away from being pro-tariff, but not always. There are different kinds of tariffs, from interstate tariffs created after the Revolution, to earlier tariffs with European nations so it's hard to pinpoint an exact answer, but I hope this at least helped.

The transcontinental railroad provided a means of fast transportation. it cut a 6 month trip into 6 days, created jobs for many people and encouraged immigration. the homestead act played a huge role in western expansion; it allowed settlers to begin a fresh start, and gave them land in exchange for their residence for up to five years and a small fee.
