Correct answer choice is :

South Carolina

Step-by-step explanation:

The Tariff of Abominations was a shielding tariff established by the Congress of the United States on May 19, 1828, created to defend trade in the northern United States. Founded during the presidency of John Quincy Adams and established during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, it was named the Tariff of Abominations by its southern censors because of the consequences it had on the antebellum Southern automation. It set a 38% tax on 92% of all imported assets.
