Detailed explanation-1: -Planter Power. The Tariff of 1828 was a protective tariff passed by the Congress of the United States on May 19, 1828, designed to protect industry in the northern United States. It was labeled the Tariff of Abominations by its southern detractors because of the effects it had on the antebellum Southern economy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Many people in Southern states, especially South Carolina, opposed the tariff. They opposed protective tariffs on the grounds that hurt their state financially. Instead, they supported the free-trade of goods and threatened to nullify the Tariff of 1828 in a major challenge to national authority.
Detailed explanation-3: -What is a protective tariff? The purpose of a protective tariff is to protect a country’s industries from foreign competition. A tariff is a tax. The U.S. put this on other country’s products to make them more expensive.
Detailed explanation-4: -The theory of nullification is based on a view that the states formed the Union by an agreement (or “compact") among the states, and that as creators of the federal government, the states have the final authority to determine the limits of the power of that government.
