Answer:

In 1828, Congress passed a high protective tariff that infuriated the southern states because they felt it only benefited the industrialized north. ... But it shrunk English demand for southern raw cotton and increased the final cost of finished goods to American buyers.England could not sell as many goods to America they could not purchase as much of the agricultural products of the south. The south was hurt badly by these tariffs.
