Tariff of abominations

Protective tariff; government financed roads and canals; and a new national bank.
The Tariff of Abominations is a derisive term used by southerners to describe the Tariff of 1828. The Tariff of 1828 was a protective tariff that was passed to help northern industries. Some businesses were being shut down due to an inability to compete with lower priced imported goods. The Tariff made the South have to pay more for imported goods and impacted cotton prices due to the reductions in exports from Britain.
Henry Clay's plan proposed prosperity for the nation through a protective tariff.
The tariff of 1816 was the first tariff passed in the United States. It was proposed by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Dallas to help American manufacturers. It was approved in 1816 and was to last only until 1820. Southern states opposed it because they sold their cotton in Great Britain.
The South did not benefit from protective tariffs because most of their goods were bought from England. Northern factory owners, however, had an increase in sales because British goods were more expensive with the tariff.
Vice Presiden John C. Calhoun, along with various southern states, opposed the tariff, believing it to be unconstitutional, favoring one sector of the economy over another. They felt the protective features on tariffs were harmful to southern agrarian interests.
