The Tricky "Tariff of Abominations" In 1824, Congress increased the general tariff significantly. The Tariff of 1828- called the "Black Tariff" or the "Tariff of Abominations"; also called the "Yankee Tariff". It was hated by Southerners because it was an extremely high tariff and they felt it discriminated against them. The South was having economic struggles and the tariff was a scapegoat. The South Carolina Exposition, made by John C. Calhoun, was published in 1828. It was a pamphlet that denounced the Tariff of 1828 as unjust and unconstitutional. "Nullies" in the South In an attempt to meet the South's demands, Congress passed the Tariff of 1832, a slightly lower tariff compared to the Tariff of 1828. It fell short of the South's demands. The state legislature of South Carolina called for the Columbia Convention. The delegates of the convention called for the tariff to be void within South Carolina. The convention threatened to take South Carolina out of the Union if the government attempted to collect the customs duties by force. Henry Clay introduced the Tariff of 1833. It called for the gradual reduction of the Tariff of 1832 by about 10% over 8 years. By 1842, the rates would be back at the level of 1816. The compromise Tariff of 1833ended the dispute over the Tariff of 1832 between the South and the White House. The compromise was supported by South Carolina but not much by the other states of the South. http://www.apnotes.net/ch13.html

Our aim is to offer our lowest standard gas and electricity prices, which have been otherwise inaccessible to people who don't have a bank account. British Gas customers who registered for the British Gas Winter Rebate scheme will automatically be moved onto the Essentials tariff. National Energy Action (NEA), the leading fuel poverty charity, has applauded British Gas for introducing a new social tariff. William Gillis, NEA chief executive, said: "A new social tariff aimed at cutting gas and electricity bills for up to 750,000 of British Gas's most vulnerable customers will see their energy bills drop by around £307 per annum. "NEA has pressed the energy supply industry to introduce social tariffs that actually represent the best deals available. NEA applauds British Gas for the introduction of a social tariff which will ensure that its low-income and vulnerable customers are guaranteed the best deal in terms of the prices they pay for gas and electricity from the company."
