Nullification Crisis

  • Tariff of 1828 (Tariff of Abominations)

    The tariffs main goal was to protect the northern and western industrialization and only had negative impacts on the South. This tariff increased the rate by 50%. This was one of the reasons for tensions between the south and north.
  • Tariff of 1832

    This tariff was meant to help resolve the conflicts with the previous tariff or the tariff of 1828. It only lessened the rate at which they are taxed and did not resolve anything.
  • Ordinance of Nullification

    South Carolina adopted this ordinance and it stated in the ordinance that the tariffs were null in the state. This did not end well as President Jackson later made his stance on this ordinance.
  • Nullification Proclamation

    Jackson had come out and stated that the states did not have the authority to nullify the tariffs.
  • The South Carolina Exposition and Protest

    South Carolina had declared the tariffs unconstitutional and supposedly the vice president had drafted the exposition.
  • Force Act

    Congress passed this act to allow the use of the military against any state that opposed or resisted the tariffs.
  • Compromise Tariff of 1833

    This tariff essentially lowered the taxes or the tariffs slowly and it ended the Nullification Crisis between South Carolina.
