The Tariff of 1824
The Tariff of 1824 was a protective tariff. This targeted wool, cotton, and iron products. British goods were now sold at lower prices so the Americans can get tricked into buying them. This tariff protected the American industry. -
The South Carolina Exposition
The South Carolina Exposition had explained why the South was displeased with the results of the Tariff of 1828. John Calhoun wanted the states to nullify the tariff because he thought it was unconstitutional, but they disagreed with him. -
The Tariff of 1828
This tariff was a protective tariff that protected the North. Goods were sold to the Americans from the Europeans at very low prices. This was also called the “Tariff of Abominations”, because this affected the south since they relied on the Europeans goods. -
Hayne's Counter proclamtion
Hayne’s had continued to void the tariffs and laws because a state can void a law if harsh treatment came from that law. Which set South Carolina off the edge and go to war with the United States. -
The Tariff of 1832
This was a protectionist tariff of the United States. This tariff helped solve the problems that were stirred up from the tariff of 1828. -
South Carolina Nullification
South Carolina had refused to pay the tariffs, and threatened to withdraw their membership if Andrew Jackson was forceful in collecting the taxes. -
Jackson's Proclamation against Nullification
Andrew Jackson had a plan to go to South Carolina to collect the tariffs that they refused, along with troops. He backed out, and instead he had congress pass the Force Bill law that allowed him to enforce tariffs. -
Force Bill
The Force Bill had given Andrew Jackson a gateway to collect the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 with the help of the army and navy. South Carolina nullified the Force Bill and would not collect duties on the tariffs. -
South Carolina Repeal of Nullification
South Carolina’s repeal was apart of Clay’s compromise, as South Carolina had revoked the nullification's and agreed on the lowering of the tariff rates. This was the end of the nullification crisis, but it had slowly began into the formation of the Civil war along with the differences that had continuously occurred through the North and the South. -
Clay's Compromise
This was a reaction to the Force Bill. This compromise had included a new tariff that had decreased the tariff of the force bill. The nullification that came from the states had kindly died down and conflict was avoided by the United States.
