While Calhoun had previously voted for tariffs to protect new industries , he was opposed to the Tariff of 1828. When the bill appeared in Senate, Calhoun had decided he would be the deciding vote against it. However, the tariff passed. In protest, Calhoun encouraged nullification of the tariff in his home state of South Carolina which prompted President Jackson to send warships to the harbor to enforce it. .
