South Carolina considered pulling out of the union as a protest. -Apex
South Carolina considered secession from the Union as a solution.
When the tariff proposed by Henry Clay passed in 1832, it aimed to reduce rates from the previous 1828 tariff but still maintained high duties that angered Southern states. This led to the Nullification Crisis in South Carolina, where state leaders, including John C. Calhoun, declared the tariff unconstitutional and refused to enforce it. The situation escalated to the point where President Andrew Jackson threatened military action to enforce federal law, highlighting the growing tensions between state and federal authority. Ultimately, a compromise tariff was reached in 1833, which gradually lowered duties and diffused the crisis.
Clay and Calhoun worked out a compromise tariff.
they were happy
South Carolina accepted the Compromise Tariff of 1833 by revoking its Ordinance of Nullification of 1832. The Ordinance was passed in protest to the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832.
The Tricky "Tariff of Abominations" In 1824, Congress increased the general tariff significantly. The Tariff of 1828- called the "Black Tariff" or the "Tariff of Abominations"; also called the "Yankee Tariff". It was hated by Southerners because it was an extremely high tariff and they felt it discriminated against them. The South was having economic struggles and the tariff was a scapegoat. The South Carolina Exposition, made by John C. Calhoun, was published in 1828. It was a pamphlet that denounced the Tariff of 1828 as unjust and unconstitutional. "Nullies" in the South In an attempt to meet the South's demands, Congress passed the Tariff of 1832, a slightly lower tariff compared to the Tariff of 1828. It fell short of the South's demands. The state legislature of South Carolina called for the Columbia Convention. The delegates of the convention called for the tariff to be void within South Carolina. The convention threatened to take South Carolina out of the Union if the government attempted to collect the customs duties by force. Henry Clay introduced the Tariff of 1833. It called for the gradual reduction of the Tariff of 1832 by about 10% over 8 years. By 1842, the rates would be back at the level of 1816. The compromise Tariff of 1833ended the dispute over the Tariff of 1832 between the South and the White House. The compromise was supported by South Carolina but not much by the other states of the South. http://www.apnotes.net/ch13.html
Congress passed the Tariff of 1833.
South Carolina repealed its nullification of the Tariff of 1832 primarily due to the threat of military action from the federal government, led by President Andrew Jackson, who was prepared to enforce federal law. The state's leaders recognized that defiance could lead to armed conflict and economic hardship. Additionally, the compromise tariff proposed by Henry Clay, which gradually reduced tariffs, provided a political solution that allowed South Carolina to back down while saving face. Ultimately, the repeal was a strategic decision to avoid confrontation and preserve the state's interests.
