(Ordinance Of Nullification)
South Carolina accepted the Compromise Tariff of 1833 by revoking its Ordinance of Nullification of 1832. The Ordinance was passed in protest to the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832.
South Carolina accepted the compromise tariff of 1832 and withdrew its nullification of the 1828 tariff, but it then "nullified" the Force Act which Jackson had Congress enact to enforce the federal tariff.
Congress passed the compromise Tariff of 1833
Henry Clay
Henry Clay and President Andrew Jackson were the main players in the compromise of 1833. The compromise was in response to conflicts between the federal government and South Carolina over taxes.
South Carolina wouldn't pay the tariffs and they threatened to nullify national laws. President Jackson signed the Tariff Compromise proposed by Henry Clay. The Tariff Compromise said it would gradually lower the tariffs over a course of 10 years. South Carolina agreed to that compromise
The Tricky "Tariff of Abominations" In 1824, Congress increased the general tariff significantly. The Tariff of 1828- called the "Black Tariff" or the "Tariff of Abominations"; also called the "Yankee Tariff". It was hated by Southerners because it was an extremely high tariff and they felt it discriminated against them. The South was having economic struggles and the tariff was a scapegoat. The South Carolina Exposition, made by John C. Calhoun, was published in 1828. It was a pamphlet that denounced the Tariff of 1828 as unjust and unconstitutional. "Nullies" in the South In an attempt to meet the South's demands, Congress passed the Tariff of 1832, a slightly lower tariff compared to the Tariff of 1828. It fell short of the South's demands. The state legislature of South Carolina called for the Columbia Convention. The delegates of the convention called for the tariff to be void within South Carolina. The convention threatened to take South Carolina out of the Union if the government attempted to collect the customs duties by force. Henry Clay introduced the Tariff of 1833. It called for the gradual reduction of the Tariff of 1832 by about 10% over 8 years. By 1842, the rates would be back at the level of 1816. The compromise Tariff of 1833ended the dispute over the Tariff of 1832 between the South and the White House. The compromise was supported by South Carolina but not much by the other states of the South. http://www.apnotes.net/ch13.html
