may 1, 1828 - Tariff of Abominations
Description:
In 1828, Congress passed a set of new tariffs which greatly favored Northern manufacturers but alienated Southern planters. The south denounced these tariffs as the “tariff of abomination” because it didn’t favor them. The major goal of the tariff was to protect the factories by taxing imports from Europe.Added to timeline:
