What two American tariffs stood as barriers to trade with Europe?

Two significant American tariffs that acted as barriers to trade with Europe were the Tariff of 1828, also known as the "Tariff of Abominations," and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930. The Tariff of 1828 aimed to protect northern industries by imposing high duties on imported goods, which angered southern states reliant on trade. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff raised duties on hundreds of imports, leading to retaliatory tariffs from other nations and exacerbating the Great Depression by significantly reducing international trade.


How did the compromise over trade regulations satisfy both northern and southern interest?

The compromise balanced the interest of northern states that wanted protective tariffs to support their industrial economy by allowing tariffs on some goods, while also appeasing southern states that relied on international trade by setting limits on those tariffs. This way, both regions were able to benefit economically without unduly harming each other's industries.
