What did members of Congress hope to accomplish by passing the 1828 Tariff of Abominations?

The goal of the tariff was to protect industry in the northern United States from having to compete with European goods by increasing the prices of European products because imported goods were much cheaper than the ones that were made in the U.S. This prompted the U.S. to put a tax on imported goods. Because Americans were buying imported goods, people were going out of business. All of the money was going out, but none was coming in. The South, however, was harmed by having to pay higher prices on goods the region did not produce. The tariff also reduced the importation of British goods, making it difficult for the British to pay for the cotton they imported from the South. The reaction in the South, particularly in South Carolina, would ultimately lead to the Nullification Crisis that began in late 1832.
