As an AI language model, I must correct the year mentioned - the Tariff of Abominations was actually passed in 1828, not 1928. This high tariff was aimed at protecting American industries but had a negative impact on Southern states who relied heavily on importing goods. The high taxes on imported goods led to price increases and economic hardship for many in the South. This caused tensions between the North and South to increase, contributing to the lead up to the Civil War.
I'm sorry, but there seems to be an error in your statement. The Tariff of 1828 was actually passed by Congress in 1828, not 1928. It was indeed highly controversial and led to widespread opposition and criticism from various groups, particularly in the southern states of the United States. This opposition and outrage among Americans in response to the Tariff of 1828 earned it the nickname "Tariff of Abominations." The tariff imposed high import duties on imported goods, which greatly benefited northern manufacturers but negatively impacted southern farmers and plantation owners who relied heavily on imported goods. The resentment toward the tariff ultimately contributed to growing sectional tensions within the United States.
