Tariff of Abomination By: Will DeJacimo Maguire Gonzales Gio Mejia

Northern States The northern states saw this as a huge advantage because foreign goods would have a higher price tag due to the tax. People would be more intrigued to buy the American made goods for a cheaper cost than the more expensive British goods.

Southern States The southern states apposed the tariff because the goods they imported from England were now costing more. To counter this, they rose their price of cotton that they sold to England, but were warned by England that they would be boycotted if the price wasn ’ t lowered.

Nullifaction Nullification and the South Carolina Secession Threat

South Carolina Threatens to Secede >In 1832, a new tariff lowered duties by ten percent. The problem was that California believed that the tariff was still to high so they decided to put Calhoun’s nullification theory into practice >A state convention then passed a law known as the ordinance of nullification, and banning the collection of duties in south Carolina. >They than threatened to secede from the union if the government enforced this law. >South Carolina then withdrew its nullification law and averted a national crisis. >Jackson showed throughout the conflict that despite his support for states rights he would use force to preserve the union.

Nullification Northern manufactures favored a high tariff to protect their industries from the foreign competition. Southern sold and other crops to New England opposed a high tariff on imports. In spring of 1828 Jackson’s supporters demanded changes in the tariff rates proposed by president John Quincy Adams The tariff of 1828 became known as the tariff of ambitions. One person against the tariff was vice president John C. Calhoun. Calhoun thought the tariff was unconstitutional and even wrote an exposition to protest against it. He argued that each state had the right to nullify an unconstitutional federal law in its own territory. Calhoun's idea surfaced again in When a senator proposed that sales of public lands in the west be halted, senator Hayne of South Carolina advanced Calhoun’s nullification theory.
