Andrew Jackson's Nullification Crisis

Tensions between the North and South had grown steadily since the anti slavery movement in 1830. Several compromises between the North and South regarding slavery had been passed such as the Nebraska-Kansas and the Missouri act; but this did little to relieve the strain. The election of President Lincoln in 1861 proved to be the boiling point for the South, and secession followed. This eventually sparked the civil war; which was viewed differently by the North and the South. The Northern goal was to keep the Union intact while the Southern goal was to separate from the Union. Southern leaders gave convincing arguments to justify secession. Exploring documents from South Carolina’s secession ordinance and a speech from the Georgia

The Nullification Crisis displayed the attempt of the citizen’s to achieve the securing of the blessings of liberty, yet the citizen’s attempt failed. In 1819, Andrew Jackson was elected as President of the United States.

To avoid military confrontation, Congress passed a different tariff that South Carolina was able to accept. The South took such measures because they felt that the North (Washington) was attacking them by passing laws that favored one section of the country’s economy over theirs. South Carolina later repealed their Nullification

Andrew Jackson was a soldier, a lawyer, a husband, an orphan, and in his most famous status, the 7th President of the United States. Andrew Jackson was loved by the people, and hated by his political rivals. He pushed the limits of his power as the president, and at the same time restricted it, as to not overstep his place as the voice of the people. Through his terms as president he used his power to protect the rights of the people and to ensure that the United States would prosper. In the following paragraphs his contributions are highlighted and will show just what he did for America and its prosperity.

South Carolina then threatened to secede from the union. While Jackson was pro-state’s rights he was against secession. Andrew Jackson threatened to send troops to South Carolina to prevent secession. Thankfully, a compromise proposed by Henry Clay in which tariffs will be reduced over the course of 10 years to which South Carolina agrees.

After having the votes from the people and the Electoral College he wins against John Quincy Adams. Jackson emerged new political parties, the Whigs and the Democrats (Binkiewicz). During his presidency, Jackson had the second national bank, did not like the high tariffs but kept them, and the Indian Removal Act 1830 was passed by Congress. During this time Jackson vetoed twelve bills. One of these was the first "pocket veto" in American history. His messages were a direct link to the voters, because of the powerful language. In other ways, too, Jackson expanded the scope of presidential authority. He dominated his cabinet, forcing out members who would not execute his commands. Jackson was a matured politician and had great political philosophy. He cherished having the national debt because it meant having more credit for the country. Which is why he kept the tariff high, although he didn’t like it because it meant the debt was still there and his credit would be getting better. The tariff was greatly opposed by the southerners. South Carolina’s nullification bothered Jackson because he felt that he was not doing his job. South Carolina withdraws the nullification of the old tariff because they state that it does not apply to them therefore, they will not obey it. Jackson states that not matter what they say they have to obey it because it is federal law and they will be punished if they do not obey

Only one U.S. president has been censured by the United States Senate and this was Andrew Jackson for what the senate believed to be abuse of presidential power during the Bank War. Andrew Jackson should be removed from the $20 bill. While Jackson was the 7th president of the united states and a national war hero after defeating the British in New Orleans during the War of 1812 he got rid of a whole government program because it didn't go along with his viewpoints. In 1816 the second bank of the United States was created five years after the First bank's charter expired. The bank had been run by a board of directors with ties to industry and manufacturing, however Jackson disagreed with the ways that the federal money was being spent as well

Everyone was hoping Andrew Jackson would lower tariffs once he became president. When Andrew Jackson did not address tariffs South Carolina decided to take charge. A convention place in South Carolina in 1832. It ruled that the tariffs of 1828 and and 1832 were unconstitutional and not enforceable in South Carolina after February 1, 1833. Just before this date Andrew Jackson created a force bill that allowed him to use military forces against South Carolina. He then created a new negotiated tariff for South Carolina, which was passed by congress.

Despite its passive and nonviolent ending, the Nullification Crisis can be viewed as an genuine foreshadowing towards the carnage of the Civil War. However, unlike the Nullification Crisis, when South Carolina became the first nation to secede from the Union at the outbreak of the Civil War, the other states of the South will follow. The Nullification Crisis laid bare the southern fears and anxiety revolving around the outward threats against their treasured way of life. These mounting trepidations will eventually spill over, and as a result, the course of American history will forever be

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States of America. He came into the presidency during a time when America had plateaued in its expansion west, the issue of slavery causing issues between the states, and corrupt government officials were abundant.

The election of Lincoln in November 1860 was the final trigger for secession.[74] Efforts at compromise, including the "Corwin Amendment" and the "Crittenden Compromise", failed. Southern leaders feared that Lincoln would stop the expansion of slavery and put it on a course toward extinction. The slave states, which had already become a minority in the House of Representatives, were now facing a future as a perpetual minority in the Senate and Electoral College against an increasingly powerful North. Before Lincoln took office in March 1861, seven slave states had declared their secession and joined together to form the Confederacy.

South Carolina takes the initiative December 24,1862 to author the, Declaration of Immediate Causes, which induce and justifies succession of South Carolina from the Federal Union. The document drafted in a committee headed by the Confederate Secretary of Treasury, included accusations of unconstitutional behavior and part of all states concerns. The South’s main

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president, serving from 1829-1837. Nicknamed "Old Hickory," he left an indelible imprint on the nation that extends beyond his face adorning the twenty dollar bill. Jackson split the preexisting Republican Party into the Whig and Democratic Parties, establishing the dual-party structure that exists today. He was the first president who came from a rural, deep Southern background (he was born in the rustic woods of South Carolina) and his impoverished country upbringing informed his presidential policies. As someone who also captained the premier national political position, Jackson is responsible for bringing the experience and voice of the common man to the federal government. This essay will explore three of the most salient aspects of Jackson's presidency: the Nullification Crisis of 1832, the National Bank episode of 1833-34, and the treatment of American Indians and slaves.

The North had full control over the federal government and used that to suppress the Southern states by creating laws that only benefitted the North. The South felt the corrupt government was unfair and they threatened to secede if nothing was done about it. In The South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification it is stated, “…we
