1. Favored the national bank and high tariffs. Northeast

The Northeastern states favoured the 1828 Tariff of Abominations, as it was called by its southern opponents. The tariff was pased by Congress on May 19, 1828. It was designed to protect industries and manufacturers in the North by increasing duties on imported foreign goods.

2. Favored lower tariffs and western expansion. South

The South opposed high tariffs such as the Tariff of Abominations, and also wanted to expand to the west in order to acquire more fertile land. This led to the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears.

3. Favored financing for roads and canals. West

The West was in favour of federal subsidies for internal improvements. They wanted to connect the agricultural West with the markets of the Northeast to stimulate growth.
