Best Answer

President Andrew Jackson supported the preservation of the Union and in response to South Carolina's threat of secession, Jackson ordered armed forces to the South Carolina capital of Charleston to enforce the Tariff Act. The volatile situation was remedied only when Henry Clay negotiated a compromise tariff acceptable to both the federal government and South Carolina. Calhoun ultimately resigned the vice presidency in protest.
