The Tariff of 1828 was intended to protect Northern industry from a flood of cheap British goods dumped on the US market after the War of 1812. However, this measure directly hurt Southern planters who had to pay higher prices for goods they couldn't make themselves, at the same time they were selling less cotton to England.
