<span>The idea of "no taxation without representation" was one of the policies that contributed to the American colonists rebellion. After the French and Indian War, the British government needed to generate revenue. To do this, they turned to the colonists as the war was fought on American soil. The British government taxed several different commodities such as sugar, paper, lead, tea, etc. These acts, like the Sugar Act and Stamp Act, were met by fierce opposition from the colonists.</span>
The 1828 Tariff of Abominations was opposed by the Southern states that contended that the tariff was unconstitutional. The Southern states whose livelihoods were being harmed firstly by having to pay higher prices on goods the South did not produce, and secondly increasing taxes on British imports made it difficult for Britain to pay for the cotton they imported from the South. Some New England industries were also opposed to the bill because it included the clause by which the taxes on raw materials increased considerably.
