Digital History: Nullification

Curated by ACT

As with most other debates leading up to the Civil War, the debate about states' rights in reference to nullifying federal laws, ostensibly about tariffs, was really about the future of slavery in the South. Read about the issues of sectionalism, sale of public lands, and the tariffs used to support American manufacturing as they all related to the Nullification Crisis during Jackson's presidency.
