Why did southern states object to and resist the tariffs of 1828 and 1832?
The southerners bought more foreign goods than the northerners did. So this kind of led to sectionalism because the northerners thought differently and the southerners were angry because it this tariff affected a lot of people.
When did Battle of Praia Bay happen?
Battle of Praia Bay happened in 1828.
Who created the Spoils System?
President Andrew Jackson set the precedence of awarding jobs to supporters after electoral victory in 1828. This was a clear departure from past practice of transparency.
Why did Southerners resist the increased tariff in 1828 arguing it should be nullified?
Because it looked like a Northern tax on the South. The North was trying to protect its manufacturing industry by raising the tariff against foreign imports. The South had almost no manufacturing industry, but it exported cotton on a large scale, in exchange for the imports it badly needed. if the North continued to hold a majority in Congress, the import tariff might have been increased further still. That was one of the reasons why the South needed more slave-states, to try and keep something like a balance of power in Congress.
What was the ordinance of nullification?
In November 1832, South Carolina passed a resolution stating that certain tariffs imposed by the Federal government didn't apply to their state. This was a crisis because states getting to pick and choose what laws they wanted to follow threatened the whole fabric of government. Eventually, the crisis was averted when the unfair tariff law was changed, but also when armed forces were authorized for use in South Carolina. It was a good compromise, but unfortunately didn't solve the larger North-South conflicts that led to the Civil War.
