NULLIFICATION CRISIS - 1832
1. no relief from Tariff of Abominations 2. state convention summoned 3. Hayne elected Governor - Calhoun to Senate 4. 1833 - Force Bill (Jackson) 5. Calhoun in Senate - no states supported South Carolina 6. Clay intervenes - lower tariff 7. Force Bill and Compromise signed on same day 8. Nullification removed in South Carolina

WHY DOES THE NULLIFICATION CRISIS MATTER?
it was not really about the tariff!
“the tariff was only a pretext, and disunion and southern confederacy the real object. The next pretext will be the negro, or slavery question”
- Andrew Jackson (1833)
If the federal government would not have stood up against South Carolina nullifying a tariff, would they have
stood up against the nullification of changes to slavery.
