The Nullification Crisis was one of the first attempts at changing Our government during the early sass’s when South Carolina’s economy depended on manufactured goods from England. The tariffs made the goods real expensive, Congress then passed a new tariff” The Tariff Of Abominations” in 1828. There was a negative effect on S. C. And they threatened to secede from the union. The Vice President John Calhoun then argues for “nullification” to declare a federal law not constitutional. Calhoun felt that this was right since the states had created the Federal union. November 1832 S. C. Ted to nullify the tariffs. President Jackson who was elected also in 1832 felt that the nullification was an act of treason. President Jackson then sent war ships to S. C. And congress passed the Forced Bill to allow presidents to use military force to enforce the acts of congress. Before the showdown occurred congress passed a bill to lower taxes until 1842. S. C. Then repealed the nullification of the tariff law. Andrew Jackson and The Native Americans was an attempt on changing our lives and the way we lived. Andrew Jackson thought that the Natives should be removed and put at the Great Plains.
In 1 830 Jackson had congress pass a law called ” The Removal Act” which provided the money to relocate them. Most of the Natives packed up and resettled to the west. On the other hand the Cherokees that were in Georgia sued to maintain their property rights. Supreme court ordered Georgia to honor their property rights during Worcester V. Georgia. Jackson refused to follow this order and his successor Martin Van Burner sent an army to move the Natives westward. The remaining Natives were then forced to march to what is now Oklahoma. At least four thousand Cherokees died urine the march.
This march was known as the “Trail of Tears” and by 1838 most of the Natives were sent to reservations. African American Slaves were also a part of how we lived and our lives. The early anti-slavery societies supported gradualism to end slavery. Some of the ways they tried to stop slavery were to, keep slaves from being brought to the country. They tried to phase slavery out in the North and the upper South, and end it in the lower South. Payments were also made to compensate the slaveholders for their losses. Other societies wanted to send the slaves back to Liberia, Africa. Aria was established for the Africans after the American Colonization Society was formed in 1816. His colonization though was never a realistic solution. Sass’s Abolition had gained ground; the abolition was to free all the slaves immediately.

Andrew Jackson was successful in moving the Indians westward, and the African Americans were set free but way over time.
