Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
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.
