In case you're wondering, the concensus was ALWAYS that they would raise prices to cover the cost of the tariff PLUS a little more, because capitalism.

I hope my former students all heard about the tariff plan and thought, "Remember when Ms. asked us what we would do if tariffs were placed on our french cheese?"

John C. Calhoun is rolling over in his grave trying, loving all of this segregationist bullshit and hating these wack-ass tariffs.
I hate these policies, but good lord I love thinking about that monster being miserable.

I don't care if this would only tickle nerds like me, but can we please start referring to this tariff plan as the Tariff of Abominations, circa 1828 & 1832?

Do you want to crush an economy? TARIFF!
Ask John Quincy Adams:
The Tariff of 1828 set a 38% tax on some imported goods and a 45% tax on certain imported raw materials, making it difficult for the British to pay for Southern cotton.
