Southerners objected to the tariff passed during the last month of John Quincy Adams' presidency because they believed it favored northern industrial interests at the expense of southern economies, which relied heavily on agriculture and imported goods.

This discontent contributed to growing regional tensions that would eventually lead to the Nullification Crisis and the Civil War.

Since the political duel over Missouri, southerners had grown increasingly suspicious of what they perceived to be northern designs to stifle them. Indeed, northerners in general were growing increasingly critical of the South's dependence on slavery. The Nullification Crisis proved to be a boiling point: whereas the regions, though different, had coexisted peacefully in the past, they grew increasingly more hostile toward each other after 1832. This trend would continue until the outbreak of the Civil War.
