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 tariff of 1828 was a tariff (importing tax) John Calhoun wanted to pass on British merchandise coming into the US. This would make the English products more and expensive, and would end up making people buy the goods made from their own nation, New England, etc.
The southerners did not like this tariff because they feared that if it was passed, the English would put a tariff on the Southerners merchandise (mostly agricultural stuff) arriving in Britain.
"The Tariff of Abominations" as called by the southerners.
South Carolina accepted the Compromise Tariff of 1833 by revoking its Ordinance of Nullification of 1832. The Ordinance was passed in protest to the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832.
Congress passed the Tariff of 1833.
South Carolina considered secession from the Union as a solution.
What caused this was South Carolina's Ordinance of Nullification in 1832
The Tricky "Tariff of Abominations" In 1824, Congress increased the general tariff significantly. The Tariff of 1828- called the "Black Tariff" or the "Tariff of Abominations"; also called the "Yankee Tariff". It was hated by Southerners because it was an extremely high tariff and they felt it discriminated against them. The South was having economic struggles and the tariff was a scapegoat. The South Carolina Exposition, made by John C. Calhoun, was published in 1828. It was a pamphlet that denounced the Tariff of 1828 as unjust and unconstitutional. "Nullies" in the South In an attempt to meet the South's demands, Congress passed the Tariff of 1832, a slightly lower tariff compared to the Tariff of 1828. It fell short of the South's demands. The state legislature of South Carolina called for the Columbia Convention. The delegates of the convention called for the tariff to be void within South Carolina. The convention threatened to take South Carolina out of the Union if the government attempted to collect the customs duties by force. Henry Clay introduced the Tariff of 1833. It called for the gradual reduction of the Tariff of 1832 by about 10% over 8 years. By 1842, the rates would be back at the level of 1816. The compromise Tariff of 1833ended the dispute over the Tariff of 1832 between the South and the White House. The compromise was supported by South Carolina but not much by the other states of the South. http://www.apnotes.net/ch13.html

how many states joined the South Carolina in repudiating the tariff acts of 1828 nad 1832? No other states endorsed the nullification. South Carolina stood alone.
South Carolina accepted the compromise tariff of 1832 and withdrew its nullification of the 1828 tariff, but it then "nullified" the Force Act which Jackson had Congress enact to enforce the federal tariff.
So, president Jackson asked Congress to lower the tariff.It did so in 1832. But Southerners still thought the tariff was too high. South Carolina nullified the tariff acts of 1828 and 1832.this writing means most important this writing means nothing just more unimportant information
