Congress passed the compromise Tariff of 1833
The Tricky "Tariff of Abominations" In 1824, Congress increased the general tariff significantly. The Tariff of 1828- called the "Black Tariff" or the "Tariff of Abominations"; also called the "Yankee Tariff". It was hated by Southerners because it was an extremely high tariff and they felt it discriminated against them. The South was having economic struggles and the tariff was a scapegoat. The South Carolina Exposition, made by John C. Calhoun, was published in 1828. It was a pamphlet that denounced the Tariff of 1828 as unjust and unconstitutional. "Nullies" in the South In an attempt to meet the South's demands, Congress passed the Tariff of 1832, a slightly lower tariff compared to the Tariff of 1828. It fell short of the South's demands. The state legislature of South Carolina called for the Columbia Convention. The delegates of the convention called for the tariff to be void within South Carolina. The convention threatened to take South Carolina out of the Union if the government attempted to collect the customs duties by force. Henry Clay introduced the Tariff of 1833. It called for the gradual reduction of the Tariff of 1832 by about 10% over 8 years. By 1842, the rates would be back at the level of 1816. The compromise Tariff of 1833ended the dispute over the Tariff of 1832 between the South and the White House. The compromise was supported by South Carolina but not much by the other states of the South. http://www.apnotes.net/ch13.html
The Nullification Crisis was a sectional crisis during the presidency of Andrew Jackson created by the Ordinance of Nullification, an attempt by the state of South Carolina to nullify a federal law passed by the United States Congress. The highly protective Tariff of 1828 (also called the "Tariff of Abominations") was enacted into law in 1828 during the presidency of John Quincy Adams. Opposed in the South and parts of New England, the expectation of the tariff's opponents was that with the election of Jackson the tariff would be significantly reduced.President Andrew Jackson was prepared to use troops to enforce federal laws, because South Carolina was making a threat that they would secede from the United States.
The people who supported the exceptionally high tariff of 1828 were supporters of Andrew Jackson. The tariff was so high, it was pricing some of the southern cotton growers right out of the market. A new tariff was adopted in 1833 that laid out a reduction of rates over a period of time.
nullification crisis
The nullification crisis erupted over the issue of tariffs, specifically the Tariff of 1828 (also known as the Tariff of Abominations) which southern states believed favored northern interests at their expense. South Carolina threatened to nullify the tariff within its borders, leading to a dispute over states' rights and federal authority.
South Carolina found the new tariff's unconstitutional and began state military preparations to fend off federal enforcement in the sovereign state.

During President Jackson's period of office the "Nullification Crisis", or "secession crisis," of 1828 - 1832, merged issues of sectional strife with disagreements over tariffs. Critics alleged that high tariffs (the "Tariff of Abominations") on imports of common manufactured goods made in Europe made those goods more expensive than ones from the northern U.S., raising the prices paid by planters in the South. Southern politicians argued that tariffs benefited northern industrialists at the expense of southern farmers."
