Storyboard Text
- Andrew Jackson got Congress to pass a law raising tariffs on cloth and glass. He did this to encourage manufacturing growth.,
-
- TARIFF
- With this new tariff being put in place there are some pros and cons. It was great for northerners because they manufactured these things. But it was terrible for people from the south because it would mess up cotton sales and was "unconstitutional".
- Yes!! This is great for the manufacturing here!! How Exciting!!!
- THIS TARIFF SUCKS!!
- How will I trade and sell my cotton?!?!?!?!
- Therefore Calhoun told the southerners to nullify it. Starting the nullification crisis. Jackson made a law to lower the tariff but Calhoun still said to declare it null and void.
- Southern states need to declare this null and void!
- No, in that case I will lower the tariff, there is no need to declare it null and void
- The issue of nullification was raised by the Vriginia and Kentucky Resolution 30 years ago. But South Carolina felt as if they had states' rights. Therefore they threatened to secede.
- WE WILL SECEDE IF YOU DO NOT GET RID OF THIS TARIFF!!! WE HAVE STATES' RIGHTS!!!! WE WILL SECEDE!!! WE WILL SECEDE!!! WE WILL SECEDE!!! WE WILL SECEDE!!!! WE WILL SECEDE!!
- Jackson was infuriated at these Americans. He let them know that if one drop of blood was shed he would hang everyone starting with Calhoun. He got congress to approve the Force Bill which allowed him to use the federal army to collect tariffs. Congres also passed another bill lowering the tariff.
- NOOO!!! PLEASE DO NOT HANG ME!!!!
- “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 from the first tree I can find.”
- Although South Carolina did decide to back down and ended the Nullification Crisis, tensions did not get any lower. Over the course of time tensions slowly and slowly begin to rise between the north and south.
- Big Words:HornswaggledFlabbergastedFlummoxedBeffudled Perplexed
- I agree. I do not believe it was intelligent to start this in the first place.
- I think we should back down I don't want to be hung.
- Agreed, young lads it is wise that we never try to begin this again.
