What was the nullification crisis and how was it resolved?

Answer 1

The Nullification Crisis was a sectional crisis during the presidency of Andrew Jackson created by the Ordinance of Nullification, an attempt by the state of South Carolina to nullify a federal law passed by the United States Congress. The highly protective Tariff of 1828 (also called the "Tariff of Abominations") was enacted into law in 1828 during the presidency of John Quincy Adams. Opposed in the South and parts of New England, the expectation of the tariff's opponents was that with the election of Jackson the tariff would be significantly reduced.
President Andrew Jackson was prepared to use troops to enforce federal laws, because South Carolina was making a threat that they would secede from the United States.

Answer 2

The Nullification Crisis happened during the Jacksonion Era. When president Andrew Jackson passed the Tariff of 1828 (taxes on trade that benefited the North, but reduced sales for the South), South Carolina excercised their constitutional right, by declaring the Tariff was null and void. They chose not to follow it. Jackson had a reputation for being a "hot-headed man", and became very angry. His own vice president, John C. Calhoun, encouraged the Southern states to secede, or withdraw from the alliance of the United States of America. This problem was solved, but it proved that tension between the North and South would grow over the following years.
