Detailed explanation-1: -South Carolina’s declaration argued that the non-slaveholding states had “denounced as sinful the institution of slavery” and had “encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection.”
Detailed explanation-2: -Why did South Carolina threaten secession, and how was the crisis resolved? South Carolina threatened secession if the federal government tried to collect tariffs. The crisis was resolved by Henry Clay when he came forward with a compromise tariff in 1833.
Detailed explanation-3: -Secession, as it applies to the outbreak of the American Civil War, comprises the series of events that began on December 20, 1860, and extended through June 8 of the next year when eleven states in the Lower and Upper South severed their ties with the Union.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Ordinance of Nullification issued by South Carolina in 1832 foreshadowed the state’s announcement of secession nearly 30 years later. Calhoun had supported the Tariff of 1816, but he realized that if he were to have a political future in South Carolina, he would need to rethink his position.
