Question

What did South Carolina point to as evidence that Northern states had broken the contract between the states, and thus freed South Carolina to leave the United
States?
a. The North's support for a high, protectionist tariff to help northern industries while oppressing the South.
b. Northern states forcing Southerners to allow Native Americans to return to their lands in Georgia and Florida.
C All of the above.
d. The North's liberty laws, which violated the Fugitive Slave law.

Answer 1

South Carolina and other Southern states argued that the tariff was unconstitutional and were opposed to the more recent protectionist tariffs because they would have to pay for them. On the other hand, Northern states were in favor of the tariffs because they helped strengthen their industrial-based economies.

Why did South Carolina think it was entitled to overturn the tariff law?

The South Carolina convention's "nullifiers," led by Andrew Jackson's vice president Calhoun, declared that the 1828 and 1832 tariff acts were unconstitutional and should be nullified. Representatives from South Carolina were of the opinion that these tariffs benefited the North and put an excessive strain on the South's economy.

Why was South Carolina so outraged about the 1828 Tariff?

The southern states were furious when Congress passed a high protective tariff in 1828 because they believed it would only benefit the industrialized north. British textiles, for instance, became more expensive as a result of a high import tariff. American cloth manufacturers, primarily those in the north, benefited from this tariff.
