During the 1830s, the issue of raising the tariff rates led to conflict between the industrial North and South. Which situation gives the best example of how a higher tariff would have negatively affected South Carolinians?
A) When they purchased additional farmland
B) When they traveled to Northern states
C) When they bought foreign-made goods
D) When they sold cotton to Northern manufacturers

Answer 1

Answer: Measures to protect industry in the north.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tariff is also known as the "Nasty Tariff" as it was called in the South. This tariff had a 38% tax on some goods and up to 45% on certain raw materials. The northern economy was burdened with cheap goods imported from Europe, so they resorted to these measures.

These measures have caused enormous damage to residents of the South, especially in South Carolina, because they have had to pay high levies. The South has also been indirectly damaged as reducing exports of British goods to the US would make it more difficult for the British to pay for cotton imported from the South.
