The Tariff of 1828 raised import taxes on manufactured goods, which heavily harmed the agrarian Southern U.S. economy that relied on imported European goods. Southerners viewed it as unfair and oppressive, coining the derogatory name to express their anger. The Nullification Crisis was a later political conflict over tariff nullification, while the other options are not the historical label used by Southerners for this tariff.
