Nullification Crisis (19 mai 1828 – 15 mars 1833)
Description:
A high protective tariff was signed into law by the U.S. government. South Carolinians, specifically John C. Calhoun strongly disagreed with the high tariffs and felt as if the south was targeted. S.C. nullified the federal law, calling it unconstitutional until a "force bill" was threatened which would bring the national army into the state to make sure the law was followed. A compromise was made. S.C would pay the tax if the U.S. government lowered the tax. The U.S. goverment would not send troops if S.C. agreed to pay its lower taxAjouté au bande de temps:
