= Historical context: =

====** The tariff of 1832 was known as a protectionist tariff for the United States which was written by former president John Quincy Adams. The purpose of this tariff was to fix the conflict that was created by the tariff of 1828, which was enacted in order to protect the manufactures of the north. The southern states called the tariff of 1828 the tariff of abominations because they saw it as favoritism of the government to the north, so the government created the compromise tariff of 1833, but the south was still unhappy. South Carolina declared both tariffs unconstitutional and made both tariffs null and void within the boundaries of South Carolina, which they called the Nullification Ordinance. But the government passed a bill that allowed them to use military forces on South Carolina which later made South Carolina repeal the Nullification Ordinance. This issue died down but never went away, and it eventually led to the succession of Southern states and the creation of the Confederacy. **==== = Thesis: =

** Although Andrew Jackson wanted to make more money and boost the economy, the establishments of Tariffs caused friction between the North and South and began the mistreatment of the middle class. **
