What were the reasons for the Tariff of 1828? What were also the reasons against the Tariff of 1828?

Answer 1

The tariff of 1828 was passed on May 19, 1828 by the US Congress. It was designed to protect northern businesses and industry. The tariff was nicknamed the tariff of abominations because of the hardships it caused the south.
