Nullification Crisis (3 ore 48 min, 19 magg 1828 anni – 22 ore 56 min, 15 marzo 1833 anni)
Descrizione:
A high protective tariff (or tax) was signed into law by the U.S. government. South Carolinian's-specifically John C. Calhoun strongly disagreed with the high tariffs and felt that they targeted the south unfairly. S.C. nullified federal law,calling it unconstitutional until a "forced bill" was threatened which would bring the national army into the state to make sure the laws were followed. A compromise took place. South Carolina would pay tax if the government lowered the tax. The government wouldn't send troops if South Carolina ggreed to pay lower tax.
