Detailed explanation-1: -In 1833, Henry Clay helped broker a compromise bill with Calhoun that slowly lowered tariffs over the next decade. The Compromise Tariff of 1833 was eventually accepted by South Carolina and ended the nullification crisis. The Andrew Jackson Papers contain more than 26, 000 items dating from 1767 to 1874.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the interregnum, Henry Clay and Calhoun worked out a compromise in Congress, known as the Compromise Bill of 1833. In exchange for South Carolina rescinding its ordinance, the tariffs would be incrementally lowered over ten years. This circumstance brought the Nullification Crisis of 1832 to an end.
Detailed explanation-3: -In November 1832 South Carolina adopted the Ordinance of Nullification, declaring the tariffs null, void, and nonbinding in the state. U.S. Pres. Andrew Jackson responded in December by issuing a proclamation that asserted the supremacy of the federal government.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pres. Andrew Jackson regarded the South Carolina Ordinance of Nullification as a clear threat to the federal union and to national authority. He reacted by submitting to Congress a Force Bill authorizing the use of federal troops in South Carolina if necessary to collect tariff duties.
