Nullification Crisis (19 май 1828 г. – 15 март 1833 г.)

Описание:

A high protective tariff (or tax) was signed into law by the U.S government. South Carolinians - specifically John C. Calhoun strongly disagreed with the high tariffs and felt that they targeted the South unfairly. South Carolina nullifed the federal law, calling it unconstituional until a "force bill" was threatened which woul dbring 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 the tx. The U.S government would not send troops if South Carolina agreed to pay this lower tax.
