Southerners became angry in 1828 primarily due to the passage of the Tariff of Abominations, which significantly raised tariffs on imported goods. This legislation disproportionately affected the South, where the economy relied heavily on agriculture and imported goods, leading to increased prices for consumers. Many Southern leaders viewed the tariff as favoring Northern industrial interests at their expense, fostering resentment and contributing to the growing sectional tensions that would later escalate into the Civil War.

Northerners and southerners became more angry with each other.
The southerners bought more foreign goods than the northerners did. So this kind of led to sectionalism because the northerners thought differently and the southerners were angry because it this tariff affected a lot of people.

Southerners referred to the Tariff of 1828 as a "Yankee tariff" because they believed it favored Northern industrial interests at the expense of Southern agricultural economies. The tariff imposed high duties on imported goods, which Southerners felt would lead to increased prices for essential items and hinder their trade. Many in the South saw it as a reflection of Northern dominance in political and economic matters, exacerbating regional tensions that would later contribute to the Civil War.

Southerners resisted the increased tariff of 1828, known as the "Tariff of Abominations," because it raised the cost of imported goods, disproportionately affecting their economy which relied heavily on trade. The South, primarily agrarian, feared that higher tariffs would lead to retaliatory measures from foreign countries, harming their cotton exports. Additionally, many southerners believed the tariff favored Northern industrial interests at their expense, fueling regional tensions and contributing to the broader conflict over states' rights.
