What is a TARIFF?TAX the government puts on imported goods (from other countries)
If you were a FACTORY OWNER or in MANUFACTURING , would you like tariffs?
Yes! Your products would not have an additional tax, so what you make would be cheaper than foreign goods.
If you were a FARMER, would you like tariffs?
No! You depend on foreign nations to buy your crops and in return, you buy their manufactured goods. You are afraid that tariffs will make foreign goods more expensive. If you don’t buy their goods, then they might not buy your crops.

Increasing Increasing SectionalismSectionalismIncreasing Increasing
SectionalismSectionalism• 1820’s and 30’s- nation was divided into 3 main sections• Northeast, South, West
• During the same time Congress was arguing over 3 main issues • One of which was tariffs
• Tariffs- government’s main source of income• North liked it b/c it made their
goods cheaper• South didn’t b/c they depended on
foreign trade
• Congress passed a tariff in 1828 to help the growth of manufacturing

• Tariff of Abominations (1828)- tariff that raised the price of imported factory goods by a large amount• Northern factory owners favored the new law• Southerners opposed it for several reasons:
• Tariffs raised the price they paid for factory goods• High tariffs kept foreign countries from trading with
the U.S. because it was more expensive• Hurt cotton sales for the South
• Believed the a law that favored one section was unconstitutional
– Calhoun, Vice President at the time, brought up idea of nullification- states can nullify a law if they see it as unconstitutional
• Calhoun was an extreme form of states’ rights

• Jackson understood Southerners – Signed a law that lowered the
tariff in 1832 but it wasn’t enough to make them happy
• South Carolina threatened to secede from the government enforced the law
• Henry Clay created a compromise bill that gradually lowered the tariff until 1842
• Both sides called a truce for the time

Issues over the Issues over the BankBank
• Jackson was against the bank for many reasons:– Thought the bank favored wealthy
Northeasterners– It did not help capitalists in the West
• capitalists- someone investing in a business to make profit
– He distrusted the bank president, Nicholas Biddle
• Jackson vetoed the bill to re-charter the bank (keep it going)
• Voters agreed – He was elected for a second term in
1832– He considered this economic
democracy

Americans• Raised on the frontier

• Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Seminole
• Hoping to keep their lands, they adopted many European characteristics and ways of life• i.e. European clothing, owned farms, slaves, had own
alphabet and newspaper

• Indian Removal Act of 1830- allowed the government to make treaties in which Natives in the East traded their land for new territory in the Great Plains
• Some tribes saw no other way out and gave up land
• Georgia later passed a law saying that the authority of their state law also now extended over the Cherokee
• Cherokee appealed to Supreme Court• Worcester vs. Georgia- Chief Justice Marshall ruled
that the Cherokee were a “distinct political community” • Georgia could not pass laws governing the Cherokee
