Congress passed a new law raising tariffs across the country
We as congress will raise tariff to encourage manufacture in the US
The south states were worried this was going to ruin their income
This is going to ruin us. bye bye farm.
I know no ones going to buy it because the prices are to high
Calhoun told the south states to say something
You guys should really speak up and fight of the farm
That is right I NEED TO FIGHT FOR MY FARM AND MY FELLOW FARMERS.
Congress raised tariff which would allow American manufactures to outsell foreign manufactures
Jackson lowered the tariff but, it still was not low enough for the south states
LOWER THE TARIFF MORE
Unlike the northern states who were happy about getting money for their factories. The southern states were worried that the higher tariff would hurt their sales to other countries.
They finally made an agreement and South Carolina was there to stay
Agreeed
Calhoun told the south states that they should declare tariff. They liked this idea and said if it was not lowered or taken away they would leave the US.
This was still not low enough for the south states and they kept threating to leave the US.
Jackson finally lowered it to a point where the south states were satisfied. After this the south states stopped making threats they were going to leave.
