Detailed explanation-1: -Which reason motivated industrialists in northern states to favor tariffs during the early 1800s? Tariffs would increase the demand for American manufactured goods. Which 1828 political party rejected the national bank and supported the presidential campaign of Andrew Jackson?
Detailed explanation-2: -The North, first of all, had an economy based on trade and on manufacturing. Northerners supported tariffs because tariffs helped them compete with British factories. Northerners also opposed the federal gov-ernment’s sale of public land at cheap prices.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1828, Congress passed a high protective tariff that infuriated the southern states because they felt it only benefited the industrialized north. For example, a high tariff on imports increased the cost of British textiles. This tariff benefited American producers of cloth-mostly in the north.
Detailed explanation-4: -Expanded suffrage – The Jacksonians believed that voting rights should be extended to all white men. By the end of the 1820s, attitudes and state laws had shifted in favor of universal white male suffrage and by 1856 all requirements to own property and nearly all requirements to pay taxes had been dropped.
