A.P. U.S. History Notes
Chapter 14: "Jacksonian Democracy at Flood Tide"
~ 1830 1840 ~
I. "Nullies" in South Carolina
1. South Carolinians, still scornful toward the Tariff of 1828, attempted to garner the necessary two-thirds majority to nullify it in the S.C. legislature, but determined Unionists blocked them.
2. In response to the anger at the "Tariff of Abominations," Congress passed the Tariff of 1832, which did away with the worst parts of the Tariff of 1828, such as lowering the tariff down to 35%, a reduction of 10%, but many southerners still hated it.

4. No other states had supported South Carolina's stance of possible secession, though Georgia and Virginia toyed with the idea.
5. Finally, S.C. repealed the nullification ordinance.
