Nullification Crisis (14 lugl 1832 anni – 15 marzo 1833 anni)

Descrizione:

A sectional crisis involving South Carolina and the federal government. On July 14 1832, the Tariff of 1832 is passed as an effort to appease the South's anger over the Tariff of 1828 (Tariff of Abominations). South Carolina is still disgruntled, and on November 24, 1832, passes the Ordinance of Nullification, permitting the state to nullify any law passed by the federal government they see fit. They then threatened to secede if the government tried to collect on the taxes. On March 1, 1833, Congress passes the Force Bill (allowing President Jackson to use the military to force South Carolina to pay taxes) and the Tariff of 1833 (a further compromised tariff). The latter appeased the state, who repealed the Ordinance of Nullification on March 15.
