The Tariff of Abominations angered the Northern states as they felt it only benefited producers of cloth in the South.

Question

True

False

Answer 1

False.

The Tariff of Abominations, passed in 1828, actually angered the Southern states, not the Northern states. The tariff was designed to protect Northern industries by imposing high duties on imported goods, which Southern states felt disproportionately benefited Northern manufacturers at their expense. The South relied heavily on imported goods and believed the tariff harmed their economy.
