During Andrew Jackson's presidency, the issue that was most responsible for regional tensions was tariffs on imported goods. The Tariff of 1828, also known as the "Tariff of Abominations," created significant conflict, particularly with Southern states that depended on imported goods and felt economically disadvantaged by high tariffs. This led to intense debates over states' rights and, ultimately, to the Nullification Crisis in South Carolina, where the state attempted to nullify the tariff. While the other issues mentioned also contributed to regional tensions, tariffs were the most prominent during Jackson's presidency.
