  21. The Writer The Writer of the tariff of Abominations was purposely wrote it to make Andrew Jackson appear to be a free trade advocate in the south. People in the mid-Atlantic states that were manufacturers argued that strengthening the nations industrial capacity was in the best interest of the country. Also people in the south felt that the tariff was unconstitutional because it favored one side of the economy over another.

  22. The Reason The reason of the Tariff was to protect the northern industries because of low priced imported goods and so they placed the Protective Tariff. It’s formal name the Tariff of 1828 later became known as the Tariff of Abominations.

  23. The Lead Spokesmen Against The Tariff The lead spoken men against the tariff was John C. Calhoun the Vice President. In secret he published an essay pronouncing the Tariff unconstitutional. Calhoun believed that each state had the right to nullify and unconstitutional law in their own territory. To nullify it means cancel. Although the Tariff helped the north in their industries it almost destroyed the south manufacturing.
