South Carolina Exposition and Protest
William Dowd
The South Carolina Exposition was a document written in 1828 by Vice President John C. Calhoun, asserting the doctrine of nullification - the belief that states had the right to reject federal laws they deemed unconstitutional. It was a response to the Tariff of Abominations, which Southern states felt was unfairly benefiting the North at the expense of the South.

John C. Calhoun's South Carolina Exposition and Protest argues that the Tariff of 1828 disproportionately benefits northern industrial interests at the expense of southern agricultural economies. It highlights the economic divide, with the North favoring protective tariffs to support manufacturing, while the South, reliant on cotton exports, suffers from increased import costs. Calhoun's assertion of states' rights and the principle of nullification reflects the deepening sectional tensions over economic policies that favored one region over another. This conflict foreshadows the growing discord that would eventually lead to the Civil War.
