    The issue of slavery became an even greater concern when the Louisiana Purchase territories were to enter the Union as states. The question was, would new territories enter the Union as slave or free states? The South wanted a balance of power. They knew that if the North were to have more free states, then slavery in the south could be facing extinction through congress. In an attempt to conciliate with the South, the North agreed upon the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Through this, slavery was banned above the 36 degrees 30 minute line and Missouri entered as a slave state, Maine a free state. For a while, it retained the balance of power. However, tempers in the south rose again later in the 1820s over high tariffs. The tariffs benefitted the north but threatened southern cotton exports. In 1828, the tariff was around 50%. President Jackson modified it to around 33% in 1832 only to have South Carolina nullify it in the state. It raised the question of whether or not the federal government could legally impose protective tariffs and whether it was constitutional for a state to nullify a federal law. "South…

    But then the tariff did pass after all. Vice President John C. Calhoun of South Carolina anonymously wrote an “Exposition and Protest” of the Tariff of 1828, which became known as the “Tariff of Abominations.” When a tariff bill passed again in 1832, because it was still too high to suit the needs of Southern agricultural interests, the State of South Carolina decided to nullify the tariff. They took their action very deliberately, calling a special convention and passing an “Ordinance of Nullification” that claimed not only that the tariff was not enforceable in South Carolina, but that any attempt to enforce it by state or federal officials would not be permitted within South…

    The Tariff of 1828 was a major factor that contributed to the emerging sectional conflicts during Andrew Jackson’s presidency. Passed by Congress in 1828, it was aimed to protect the booming industries in the north and tax the south on imported goods such as wool, fur, liquor, etc. The South was angry at paying a high amount on imported goods, since it harmed their economy. As a result, South Carolina threatened secession from the Union. Congress, hoping to make things work better for the south, issued the Tariff…

    The Nullification Crisis started when South Carolina adopted an ordinance of nullification. This allowed the federal tariff acts of 1828 and 1832 to be labeled unconstitutional and denounced in the state of South Carolina. The state's tilt towards nullification actually started years earlier, during the 1820’s, when the state suffered from an agricultural depression. This caused an estimated 70,000 people to move out of the state, and almost twice that number in the 1830’s. This caused most of the state to blame the tariff.…

    The presidency of Andrew Jackson was a time of growth and saw many significant changes that would positively and negatively affect America. During his presidency, the idea of nullification came about when South Carolina refused federal tax collectors and nullified the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832 because it hurt the state financially. South Carolina threatened to secede and as a result Jackson responded by sending federal troops to ensure tariffs were collected because he viewed this as an act of of treason (Palmer). Jackson’s actions during the nullification crisis prevented South Carolina from seceding and avoided a civil war.…

    Jackson thought that the Native Americans could better preserve their native cultures in the west than they were in the east. About 100,000 Native Americans left the east and headed west. The Native Americans were forced to march west and because of the sickness, suffering, and death that happened on the journey, the Cherokees names it the Trail of Tears. Hundreds of innocent Native Americans died, and hundreds of thousands were forced to leave their native land. In the 1790’s the Native American tribes were declared as being separate nations from the United States and the U.S. could only get land from them through a treaty. Jackson, like always, did not respect their rights. He was only thinking about how he could benefit from it. He was more interested in the possible new land than in the wealthfare of the native…
