The election of Andrew Jackson to the presidency changed the American government and politics in many ways. First, after the election of 1828, American politics was not dominated by the elites and the rich from the East anymore; instead, the common people believed they could actually rule America. Second, the federal power was restrained as opposed to the states’ rights. He opposed the American System that empowered the federal government an active role in participating in the economic development across the nation as well as disapproving the Bank of the United States and corporations that monopolized American financial resource. Third, he introduced the Kitchen Cabinet from which Jackson’s close allies were asked to serve in the cabinet and…

In the state election of 1832, the Nullifiers and Unionists clashed head-on in the nullification crisis in South Carolina. Congress “tipped the balance by passing the new Tariff of 1832,” and in an act of defiance, South Carolina threatened to leave the Union. But who won this debacle? With Andrew Jackson sitting as the President, was this tactic truly effective? The fact of the matter is that the national government “won” the nullification crisis because, in the end, South Carolina returned back to the Union with little to no hesitation, but in the long-term, the Southern states might have achieved their ultimate goal of lowering the Tariff.…

Territorial Issues and Compromises On April 12, 1861 the legendary American Civil War broke out. This was a war that would decide the fate of the United States of America.

Are we creating an infamous history? 10 years ago, congress passed the highest tariff in our known history. (The tariffs were meant as a strategy to lure consumers towards buying American products.)

The idea of the nullification came from John Calhoun, who believed that the federal tariffs were unconstitutional, in which made the people follow his belief’s as cotton growers within the South began to hurt financially due to the tariff tax, which reduced the British demand for the raw cotton in the US. When the convention took place within South Carolina and they were able to nullify the 1828 and 1832 Tariffs, Jackson requested from Congress, to past the “Force Bill” which would provide him with the authorization needed to obtain the US Army to make South Carolina become compliant with the federal law. As South Carolina was about to be under attack by the US Army, they were able to back down and accept the compromise presented. They accepted the compromise tariff that was put together by Henry Clay. The Force Bill ended up becoming nullified by the state convention and all of the worry was over, as both sides were satisfied with the…
Strong willed, determined, bold, ambitious are all accurate terms to describe President Andrew Jackson, the seventh president in United States history; however, presidential is not an accurate representation of what Andrew Jackson was. He wasn’t a Virginian elitist, a member of a renowned family, or part of a rich family like the presidents that came before him. Andrew Jackson was a South Carolina Native who grew up without a father since the beginning of his life, without a mother after fourteen years, and was an unsophisticated child that was involved in many fights and duels, displaying his hot, and uncontrollable temper (textbook). Andrew Jackson grew up and became the most beloved figure in America during his age. He wasn’t an elitist,…

Madeline Kirk U.S. History 1301 December 1, 2014 The Tariff of 1828 The Tariff of 1828, also known as the Tariff of Abominations, was the cause of major controversy in the United States. The increasingly powerful government required higher revenues and higher duties, which led to the Tariff of 1828 (Carnes and Garraty p. 193). This tariff was passed on May 19, 1828 with the goal of protecting industries in the north that were being hurt by low-priced imported goods (Tariff of 1828).…
Although the Northern states and the Southern states had their differences in their beliefs, on profuse occasions—specifically on slavery—compromises had squelch down the bad blood between them. However, in 1789, even after the Constitution was adopted by all of the States to amalgamate as a nation, for more than thirty years, the temporarily ceased frictions between the North and South went to and fro once more. Thus, by 1861, these opposing ideals between the disputants were so prodigious that the compromises do not seem enticing to either antithetical stance. Henceforth, this led to the secession of the Southern states, much to the Northern states’ disgust and eventually to the Civil War.…
