Tariff of Abomination
By: Will DeJacimo

Gio Mejia
What is the Tariff of
Abomination?
The Tariff of Abomination is
another name for the Tariff of
1828.
It was a protective tariff passed
by congress on may 19, 1828. It
was designed to protect
northern manufactures. It
placed a tax on imported goods
from other countries.
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.
Resolution
On July 14, 1832 President Jackson signed
into law that the Tariff of 1828 that placed a
tax on imported goods was un-constitutional.

Nullification and the
South

Nullifaction
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 1830. When a senator proposed
that sales of public lands in the west be halted, senator Hayne of
South Carolina advanced Calhoun’s nullification theory.
