(MA) dated Dec 20, 1832. This newspaper contains a prominent front page headline: "PROCLAMATION by Andrew Jackson, President of the United States" and a complete printing of the
PROCLAMATION by Andrew Jackson to the State of South Carolina. Jackson warns South Carolina that the Federal Government had the authority (and the will) to use force to prevent South Carolina from "nullifying" a Federal Law
(in this case the law on Federal tariffs). This would go down in US history as the NULLIFICATION CRISIS.
This NULLIFICATON CRISIS marked the begining of the drive by South Carolina (and later other Southern States) to secede from the Union (which SC did in Dec , 1860 after the election of Abraham Lincoln as US President).
On December 10, 1832, President Andrew Jackson issued a proclamation to the people of South Carolina that disputed a states' right to nullify a federal law. Jackson's proclamation was written in response to an ordinance issued by a South Carolina convention that declared that the tariff acts of 1828 and 1832 "are unauthorized by the constitution of the United States, and violate the true meaning and intent thereof and are null, void, and no law, nor binding upon this State." Led by John C. Calhoun, Jackson's vice president at the time, the nullifiers felt that the tariff acts of 1828 and 1832 favored Northern-manufacturing interests at the expense of Southern farmers. After Jackson issued his proclamation, Congress passed the Force Act that authorized the use of military force against any state that resisted the tariff acts. In 1833, Henry Clay helped broker a compromise bill with Calhoun that slowly lowered tariffs over the next decade. The Compromise Tariff of 1833 was eventually accepted by South Carolina and ended the nullification crisis.
