Tarrifs of Abominations

Apr 23, 1828

The tarrifs of abominations were high tarrifs of up to 50% set to tax imported goods into the US This helped many American businesses in the North, Central, and some of Western U.S. HOwever, this greatly harmed southern farmers, who relied on British exports heavily. John Quincy Adams signed the bill into order, but Andrew Jackson allowed it to happen. It was the highest tarriff yet, and greatly opposed by Southeners, who now had to rely on Northeastern products., which were much more expensive.
