While Calhoun had previously voted for tariffs to protect new industries , he was opposed to the Tariff of 1828. When the bill appeared in Senate, Calhoun had decided he would be the deciding vote against it. However, the tariff passed. In protest, Calhoun encouraged nullification of the tariff in his home state of South Carolina which prompted President Jackson to send warships to the harbor to enforce it. .

Calhoun became a strong opponent of Nationalist programs such as high tariffs. Calhoun and other southerners, argued that tariffs raised the prices that they had to pay for the manufactured goods that they could not produce themselves.
