Question

Which region of the country was against tariffs and why we they against them

Answer 1

Answer:

The South

Explanation:

The tariff of 1828 raise taxes on imported manufactured goods from Europe. The goal of this tariff was to protect the young manufacturing industry of New England. The result was that goods from Europe were more expensive. Because England could not sell as many goods to America they could not purchase as much of the agricultural products of the south.

The south was hurt badly by these tariffs. They could not sell as much of their products losing money and they had to pay more for the manufactured goods they needed. Also they had to purchase manufactured goods from northern factories because of the shortage of imports.
