The convention of South Carolina also adopted a letter of causes addressed to all the other southern states outlining why they were seceding and urging others to join them (interestingly enough half that document is a list of grievances against the north for tax hikes and tariffs).

I have been unable to find a document which lists grievances about tax hikes and tariffs. Do you have a source for this?
