The Tariff of 1828, also known as the Tariff of Abominations, was a protective tariff passed by the United States Congress in 1828. It imposed high import duties on goods in order to protect domestic industries. This tariff disproportionately affected Southern states, which relied heavily on imported goods and raw materials. The high tariffs made imported goods more expensive for Southern consumers and also made it harder for Southern farmers to export their goods. The Southern states, particularly South Carolina, strongly opposed this tariff and argued that it was crippling their economy. South Carolina even passed the Nullification Act in response to the tariff, asserting their right to nullify federal laws within their state. Ultimately, the grievances over the Tariff of 1828 and later the Tariff of 1832 played a significant role in the increasing tensions between the Northern and Southern states, culminating in the American Civil War.
