Solution

Answer

The answer is False.

Explanation

The Tariff of 1828, also known as the "Tariff of Abominations," did not dramatically lower taxes on imported raw materials. Instead, it significantly raised tariffs on imported goods, including raw materials, to protect Northern industries. This tariff was highly controversial and exacerbated tensions between the Northern and Southern states, as the South relied heavily on imported goods and saw the tariff as economically damaging.

Answer

The answer is violated international law by establishing a provisional American government in Pensacola, the Spanish capital.

Explanation

Option 1: pursued conquests in the Spanish colonies that deeply troubled expansionists and lost him most of their support.

This option is incorrect because Jackson's actions in Florida were generally supported by expansionists who favored American territorial growth.

Option 2: was an even bigger hero in Britain due to his protection of British traders and soldiers found in this part of the Spanish colonies.

This option is incorrect as Jackson's actions in Florida did not make him a hero in Britain; rather, they were part of the broader context of American expansionism.

Option 3: violated international law by establishing a provisional American government in Pensacola, the Spanish capital.

This option is correct. Jackson's actions in Florida, including the establishment of a provisional government, were seen as a violation of international law and created diplomatic tensions.

Option 4: had weakened John Quincy Adam's ability to negotiate with the Spanish to purchase the territory.

While Jackson's actions did complicate diplomatic relations, they did not significantly weaken Adams's ability to negotiate the Adams-Onís Treaty, which eventually led to the acquisition of Florida.

Option 5: let down John C. Calhoun by refusing to engage in violent conquest of the peoples living there.

This option is incorrect as Jackson was known for his aggressive military actions, and there is no significant evidence that he let down Calhoun in this context.
