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.
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.

In 1832, South Carolina repealed its nullification of the federal Tariff of 1828 after a compromise was reached, largely influenced by the threat of military action from President Andrew Jackson and the passage of the Compromise Tariff of 1833. This compromise, crafted by Henry Clay, gradually reduced the tariffs over the following years, easing tensions between the state and the federal government. South Carolina's initial nullification was a significant moment in the escalating conflict over states' rights and federal authority, which would continue to shape American political discourse.
