Americans began to notice growing differences between the northern and southern sections of the country. There were more people living in cities in the north, which made it more urban. More people lived on farms in the south, which made it more rural. While many people were farmers in the northern states, there were now other ways to make a living, such as working in assamblying the textiles made by the cotton gins machines, manufacturing cloth, tools and other goods. People in the North supported high tariffs on goods imported from Europe because the extra cost encouraged people to “buy American” instead. In the southern states, planters did not like tariffs because they sold most of their raw materials to Europe and bought their tools from there as well. Southerners believed the protective tariff was something that only helped northern factory owners keep their profits high. So the Southern politicians came up with an idea. They would OPT OUT. They would simply ignore the protective tariff. It was ‘null and void’ in South Carolina. The state would not collect the taxes on goods imported into South Carolina, no matter what the President said they had to do. This decision led to the Nullification Crisis.

The Nullification Crisis was a sectional crisis that happened during the presidency of Andrew Jackson when the state of South Carolina declared that the federal Tariffs of 1828, enacted during the presidency of John Quincy Adams, and the Tariffs of 1832 were unconstitutional and, therefore, meaningless within the state.
