Nullification Crisis (3h 48min, may 19, 1828 y – 22h 56min, mar 15, 1833 y)
Description:
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.
