In 1833, South Carolina threatened to secede from the Union if (A) Congress continued to raise protective tariffs. Southerners were angered by the increases in protective tariffs that were included in the Tariff of 1832 and the 1828 Tariff of Abominations. As a result South Carolina threatened to secede and a political compromise was struck which was called the Compromise Tariff of 1833.

In 1833, South Carolina threatened to secede from the Union if Congress continued to raise protective tariffs, primarily in protest against the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832. This led to the Nullification Crisis, which was resolved with the Compromise Tariff of 1833, lowering the tariffs. The crisis emphasized growing tensions between the North and South regarding economic and state rights issues.
