  4. Lesson 2: The Nullification Crisis

  5. Tariff • In 1828, Congress passed a law raising tariffs, or taxes on imported goods such as cloth and glass. • Encourage manufacturing in the US. • Higher tariffs = higher prices for imported factory goods. American manufacturers could outsell their foreign competitors.

  6. South and the Tariff • Tariffs raised the prices they paid for factory goods. • High tariffs also discouraged trade among nations. • Planters in the South worried that tariffs would hurt cotton sales to other countries.

  7. The Nullification Crisis • John C. Calhoun, Jackson’s vice president, called on southern states to declare the tariff “null and void,” or illegal and not to be honored.

  8. Calhoun • Led by Calhoun, they proclaimed South Carolina’s right to nullify, or reject, both the 1828 and 1832 tariff laws. • The state threatened to secede if the national government tried to enforce the tariff laws.

  9. Jackson Outraged • Jackson was outraged. “If one drop of blood be shed there in defiance of the laws of the United States,” he raged, “I will hang the first man of them I can get my hands on to the first tree I can find.” He called on Congress to pass the Force Bill, which would allow him to use the federal army to collect tariffs if needed.

  12. Why did Jackson dislike the Bank of the United States? • Jackson thought the Bank of the United States benefited rich easterners and hurt farmers, western entrepreneurs, and smaller state banks.

  13. How was Biddle and Jackson’s relationship? Write a summary of Act 2. • Biddle an Jackson did not like each other. In this act, the two are arguing over how important the Bank of the US is. Jackson will have to go through Biddle in order to “kill” the bank.

  14. What was the end result of this issue? • Jackson ultimately broke away from the bank and the US invested in smaller state banks instead of one big national one. Jackson destroyed the bank without the help of Congress.

  15. Jackson vs. Bank Activity • Read each quote from Jackson about the US bank • Summarize what he is saying in the right column • Work independently!
