- Your balance is actually 5.1 due to Jackson's new law
- Northern states favored the new tarrif law because they had new factories. Southernerns opposed tarrifs however. Tarrifs raised the prices they paid for factory goods, and it discouraged trade among nations.
- In 1832, Jackson responded and signed a new law that lowered the tarrifs. However, the tarrifs weren't low enough to meet supporters of the states rights, in South Carolina's, expectations. They nullified 1828 and 1832 tarrif laws.
- Jackson was furious, and counted on congress to pass the Force Bill. This bill allowed Jackson to use federal amry to collect tariffs if needed. Congress also passed a compromise bill that lowered taxes even more at the same time.
- Faced with such a solid opposition, South Carolina decided to back down. This meant the nullification crisis ended. Even though the crisis ended, the North and South's tention will increase over the years.
