Andrew Jackson passed a force bill that commanded South Carolina to obey the Tariff of Abominations, therefore forcing the crisis to be resolved. Afterwards, however, he lowered the tariff to appease the South.
The tariff of abomination eventually led to the Nullification Crisis in South Carolina. John C. Calhoon wanted to nullify this tariff because it put South Carolina at an disadvantage regarding the selling of their goods. Andrew Jackson, the president at the time, was outraged and even threatened the "Force Act" in order to get South Carolina to cooperate with the federal government. This is when the famous debate took place between Robert Hayne and Daniel Webster. Webster was supporting the federal gov and cried "Liberty and Union, now and for ever, one and inseparable!" The whole predicament was an issue of states' rights versus national power. In the end, Jackson had a private meeting with Henry Clay and they decided to lower the tariff over a ten year time span as long as South Carolina promised not to nullify the tariff.
