The Nullification Crisis In 1828, Congress passed a law raising tariffs (taxes on imported goods) Congress wanted to encourage more people make goods in America and buy more American products (ex. clothes) Northern states LOVED this because they made goods in their factories Southern states HATED the tariff because they were afraid other countries would tax or not buy their cotton

Was this tariff Constitutional? • Many southern states argued this tariff was unconstitutional because it favored ONLY the northern states • Jackson tried to fix the issue by creating a new, lower tariff in 1832 • This DID NOT fix the problem

South Carolina Threatens to Secede • South Carolina was NOT happy with the Tariff of 1828 and 1832 • They wanted to nullify, or reject, both tariffs • They even went one step further, and threatened to secede, or leave America, if the government tried to enforce the tariffs • Jackson would not allow this and passed the Force Bill, allowing him to use the army to collect the money, if needed. • South Carolina backed down
