In what consisted the Tariff of Abomination?
The Tariffs of Abominations, signed in 1828 by President John Quincy Adams, raised the prices on imported goods in order to protect farmers in the northern and western regions of the United States. Eventually, it was a total failure and raised the cost of life in southern states and cut the profits of New England's industrialists.
