Conflict over TariffsWhen it came to tariffs, northern states wanted
higher tariffs and southern states wanted lower tariffs
This regional divide was Jackson’s first issue in office
In 1828 Congress passed the Tariff of Abominations (hateful things) was passed– it was a high tariff and southerners thought federal government was abusing their power

The Nullification CrisisJohn Calhoun (Vice President) wrote a statement in
support of states’ rights
Those who favor states’ rights believe that the federal government is strictly limited by the Constitution
The dispute between state and federal government became known as the nullification crisis– states had the right to rebel if their rights were violated
Daniel Webster a Senator from Massachusetts did not agree

in 1832 and Jackson promised to send troops if need be to make them follow the tested law
