Nullification Crisis (3 ore 12 min, 19 magg 1828 anni – 18 ore 17 min, 15 marzo 1833 anni)
Descrizione:
A high protective tariff (or tax) was signed into law by the U.S. government. South Carolinians - especially John Calhoun strongly disagreed with the high tariffs and felt that they targeted the South unfairly. South Carolina nullified the federal law, calling it unconstitutional until a "force bill " was threatend which would bring the national army into the state to make sure the law was followed. A compromise took place. South Carolina would pay the tax if the U.S. government lowered tax. The U.S. government would not send troops if South Carolina agreed to pay this lower tax.Aggiunto al nastro di tempo:
