Tariff of Abominations
Tariff of abominations or abomination
The Tariff of 1832 was a protectionist tariff in the United States. It was passed as a reduced tariff to remedy the conflict created by the tariff of 1828, but it was still deemed unsatisfactory by southerners and other groups hurt by high tariff rates. Southern opposition to this tariff and its predecessor, the Tariff of Abominations, caused the Nullification Crisis involving South Carolina. The tariff was later lowered down to 35 percent, a reduction of 10 percent, to pacify these objections. This was still not satisfactory, and the Tariff of 1833 resulted.
The purpose behind the passage of tariff law was to provide protection to American industries from European competition. However, the Tariff angered the southerners because they felt discriminated against since the Tariff had such a high demand and because of their overall economic style. The southerners utilized a free market method, which basically allowed them to import and export manufactured goods as they pleased. There was no tax implied. Thus, the Tariff bothered their economy since it was opposing the major factor of it; freedom.
The high tariff meant that Southerners had to pay more for imports. Many people thought that the tariff was unconstitutional. Anger against the tariff increased in the South. Congress passed a new tariff in 1832 that lowered the rate slightly. South Carolina was not satisfied. It passed the Nullification Act, which declared the new tariff illegal. US President Andrew Jackson sent US troops to South Carolina to enforce Federal tariff laws.
Southerners feared the Tariff because the rich plutocrats in the South needed to export their ill-gotten agricultural goods while importing luxuries from abroad. A Tariff makes that harder.
Southerners were outraged because they felt they were being forced to pay for the norths prosperity
Southerners were hapy, because they could continue to buy goods from Great Britain cheaply
Because the southerners had built few factories and didn't benefit from the tariff. Southerners bought many British goods and the tariff drove up the price. The southerners complained that the tariff made northern manufacturers rich at the expense of the South.

I think, southerners call it tariff of abomination.

The tariff was a tax on imported manufactured goods. This raised the price of imported products and made it easier for US manufacturers to compete. Very few of these manufacturers were in the South, so all the tariff did for southerners was to raise their cost of living by making them pay higher prices for the things they needed. The tariff was in essence a tax on them to subsidize northern industry.
Southerners
Because the south had access to the waters and seas but north did not, and because of the tariff, the south could do hardly anything and because the southerners had built few factories and didn't benefit from the tariff. Southerners bought many British goods and the tariff drove up the price. The southerners complained that the tariff made northern manufacturers rich at the expense of the South.
