The purpose of a protective tariff. First of all, what is a protective tariff? It is a tax on imported goods (or goods that come into the country).So, a protective tariff would be one that protects the country from foreign competition. For example, the tariff of 1828. Northern prices were getting too high for the South to be able to pay, so instead the South bought its goods from other countries(England mainly). The Northern ecconomy was hurt because of this so Northern senators chose to place a tariff on all imported goods from foreign countries, thus protecting their industries.
