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.
The Nullification Crisis was the reaction of the south, and the Force Bill(written by Andrew Jackson) was the document written.

The strong pro-Union stand of President Jackson brought forth further remonstrances from Southern leaders. After enactment of the tariff act of 1832 South Carolina called a state convention, which passed (1832) the ordinance of nullification. This ordinance declared the tariff laws null and void, and a series of enactments in South Carolina put the state in a position to resist by force any attempt of the federal government to carry the tariff act into operation. President Jackson in reply dramatically issued a strong proclamation against the nullifiers, and a force bill force bill, popular name for several laws in U.S. history, notably the act of Mar. 2, 1833, and the Reconstruction acts of May 31, 1870; Feb. 28, 1871; and Apr. 20, 1871......

Jackson, however, felt that the South had a real grievance and, behind his show of force, encouraged friends of compromise, led by Henry Clay, to prepare a bill that the South would accept. This compromise tariff was rushed through Congress, and after its passage (1833) the South Carolina state convention reassembled and formally rescinded the ordinance nullifying the tariff acts. To preserve its prerogative it adopted a new ordinance nullifying the force bill.

Force Bill
The compromise of 1833, also called the Tariff of 1833, was a bill proposed to resolve the Nullification Crisis. It gradually reduced tariff rates after southern states objected to previous tariff bills.
The Nullification Crisis of 1833 was resolved through the Compromise Tariff of 1833, also known as the Force Bill. This legislation gradually reduced tariffs over a period of time, helping to ease tensions between the federal government and South Carolina, which had threatened to secede over tariff laws it viewed as unfair. The Force Bill empowered President Jackson to use military force if needed to enforce federal laws.
President Jackson thought the tariff situation was treason and handled it as such by using force to make South Carolina abide by the tariffs. He also felt that the Indians should be allowed to keep their way of life.
The Force Bill of 1833, proposed by President Andrew Jackson, was aimed at enforcing federal tariff laws in South Carolina during the nullification crisis. While not directly related to slavery, the nullification crisis itself was influenced by Southern concerns over federal economic policies that were seen as favoring the North and potentially threatening the institution of slavery. The South viewed the tariffs as disproportionately burdensome on their region.
