Andrew Jackson sought to remove Native American tribes from eastern lands to territories west of the Mississippi River. This resulted in the passage of the 1830 Indian Removal Act and the forced relocation of the "Five Civilized Tribes" including the Cherokee on the Trail of Tears. The Supreme Court initially ruled in Worcester v. Georgia that states did not have authority over tribal lands, but President Jackson defied this ruling, allowing the removal to proceed. Over 4,000 Cherokee died during the forced march west.
The Panic of 1819 was the first major economic panic in the United States, impacting mostly Western areas and leaving many people jobless and homeless due to bank failures. Banks failed due to risky lending practices of Western banks and calls for repayment of loans by the Bank of the United States. Reaction to the Panic varied by location, with Northerners supporting tariffs, Southerners opposing them, and Westerners blaming bankers and speculators. Property values plunged across many states as a result of the Panic. The Land Act of 1820 and Relief Act of 1821 helped end the Panic, though the U.S. did not fully recover until the mid-1820s, fueling support
Andrew Jackson was the 7th US President from 1828-1837. As a slave owner and veteran of the War of 1812, he portrayed himself as a champion of the common man but was more akin to a Southern gentleman. He believed in the spoils system of rewarding political supporters with government jobs. During his presidency, the Indian Removal Act of 1830 led to the forced removal of the Cherokee and other Southeastern tribes along the Trail of Tears, resulting in thousands of deaths, despite a Supreme Court ruling protecting tribal lands.
The document provides information about Reconstruction following the U.S. Civil War, including key events and policies. It discusses the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments and their effects.

Andrew Johnson's more lenient reconstruction plans are outlined and his conflict with Radical Republicans discussed. The rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan and policies like the Black Codes and Jim Crow laws are summarized.
Sam Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas in 1841 for his second term. He aimed to balance the budget by cutting government jobs and spending, but was unable to do so as debt rose to $12 million by 1845. Houston pursued peaceful relations with Indian tribes, establishing frontier trading posts and signing treaties, including with the Comanche in 1844. However, tensions with the Comanche later resurfaced. Houston also had to send troops in 1844 to end the Regulator-Moderator War, a violent feud between two settler groups in East Texas over land certificates that local officials could not stop.
The document discusses key events during Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1828 to 1836. Some of the major controversies included the national bank, states' rights issues like nullification, and the tariff. Jackson opposed the national bank and vetoed the renewal of its charter. This led to a battle over states' rights when South Carolina declared tariffs "null and void" leading to the Nullification Crisis. Jackson believed in separating church and state and refused requests to issue religious proclamations as President.

The document summarizes several key Civil War battles from Fort Sumter in April 1861 to the Battle of Antietam in September 1862. It describes how the Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter, leading to its surrender after 34 hours, and several southern states subsequently seceding from the Union. Several early battles resulted in high casualties that exceeded all previous American wars. The Union suffered defeats at Bull Run but had victories capturing forts and cities in Tennessee and New Orleans. The bloodiest single-day battle of the war occurred at Antietam in September 1862, with over 26,000 casualties, after which Lee retreated back to Virginia.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 proposed popular sovereignty to decide the issue of slavery in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, overturning the Missouri Compromise which had mandated they be free states. This led to violent clashes between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers trying to influence the vote, known as "Bleeding Kansas." Tensions escalated with attacks on settlers and the beating of Senator Sumner for his speech criticizing the Act.

Dred Scott was a slave who sued for his freedom after living in free states with his owner. His case reached the Supreme Court in 1857, where Chief Justice Taney ruled against Scott and declared that blacks could not be citizens and Congress could not ban slavery in territories. The controversial decision inflamed tensions around slavery and helped plunge the nation into civil war.
This document summarizes key events involving the forced removal of Native American tribes from their eastern lands in the 1830s. It describes how the Black Hawk War led to the Sauk tribe being forced out of Illinois, then the passage of the Indian Removal Act allowing the federal government to relocate tribes west of the Mississippi River against their will. It discusses how the Cherokee tribe, who had adopted aspects of white culture, sued Georgia over the seizure of their lands, but President Jackson refused to enforce the Supreme Court ruling in their favor. Finally, it outlines how the Cherokee were then forcibly marched west on the Trail of Tears, during which a quarter of the tribe perished.
The document summarizes key events and ideas during the American Revolution, including:
1) Thomas Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence citing Enlightenment ideas, and the colonies defeated Great Britain in the Revolutionary War.
2) Tensions grew between the colonies and Britain over taxation and representation, leading colonies to organize resistance groups. The Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4th, 1776.
3) The colonists engaged in important battles like Saratoga and Yorktown, and received support from European allies like France, helping them eventually defeat Britain.
The Battle of Little Bighorn was fought on June 25, 1876 between Indian tribes led by Sitting Bull and the U.S. Army troops led by Lt. Colonel George Custer after the tribes missed the deadline to relocate to a new reservation, as the U.S. Army wanted to search for and possess gold discovered on the native land. Custer's troops were outnumbered and defeated in what became known as Custer's Last Stand, a major victory for Sitting Bull and the united tribes.
The Radical Republicans took control of Reconstruction after Lincoln's assassination. They established the Freedmen's Bureau to help former slaves and passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. However, white supremacist groups like the KKK used violence and intimidation. Rufus Bullock became governor of Georgia but unrest continued until military rule was restored. The Compromise of 1877 ended Reconstruction, leaving the South under Democratic control.
Manifest Destiny and the Mexican American Warreghistory
Manifest Destiny was the belief that American settlers were destined to expand across North America. This motivated the U.S. to annex Texas and go to war with Mexico to acquire California and New Mexico. The Mexican-American War ended with the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848, where Mexico ceded California and New Mexico to the U.S. in exchange for $15 million. This allowed Manifest Destiny to be fulfilled and the U.S. to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean.

It describes how Americans migrated west along routes like the Oregon Trail and faced many hardships. It also covers events that contributed to Texas independence from Mexico like the Alamo and Goliad massacres, and the eventual annexation of Texas as a state.
The document summarizes key events during the Texas Revolution that led to Texas independence. It describes how Sam Houston took command of the Texas army after the fall of the Alamo weakened morale. Houston ordered retreat to avoid confronting Santa Anna's larger force. Many Texans fled east in the "Runaway Scrape". At Goliad, over 400 Texan soldiers were executed after surrendering. Houston continued training his growing army. On April 21, Houston launched a surprise attack at San Jacinto, defeating Santa Anna's army in 18 minutes and capturing Santa Anna, securing Texas' independence.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was proposed by Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas to organize the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and repeal the Missouri Compromise, which banned slavery north of latitude 36°30'. This allowed settlers in those territories to determine through popular sovereignty if they would allow slavery. The act led to violent clashes between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers in Kansas, known as "Bleeding Kansas", and contributed to the decline of the Whig party and rise of sectional tensions that eventually caused the Civil War.
Jefferson Davis was born in Kentucky in 1808 and served in the U.S. Army and Senate before the Civil War. He was elected as the President of the Confederate States of America in 1861. After the Confederacy surrendered in 1865, Davis was imprisoned for two years but was never tried for treason. He spent his later years writing his memoirs and living in Mississippi, where he died in 1889.
The Trail of Tears was the forced relocation of Native American tribes, including the Cherokee, from their ancestral homelands in the Southeast to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) in the 1830s. Pressure from white settlers seeking gold and land, coupled with the Indian Removal Act signed by President Andrew Jackson, resulted in the Cherokee and other tribes being forcibly removed from their lands.

The Panic of 1837 was a major financial crisis that caused a seven-year depression in the United States. It began when banks in New York City stopped accepting payments in gold and silver, causing over 800 banks to fail or partially fail across the country. The crisis was exacerbated by loose banking practices prior to the panic, including excessive lending and issuing of paper money not backed by specie. President Jackson's Specie Circular, which required payment for public land to be in gold and silver, and President Van Buren's refusal to intervene are also cited as contributing factors. The depression that followed caused widespread unemployment and food riots in cities.
The Mexican American War was caused by disputes over borders between the United States and Mexico. Mexico was unhappy with the increasing number of American settlers moving into lands owned by Mexico after 1803. The United States tried to purchase additional lands from Mexico in 1835 and 1845 but Mexico refused. Texas also gained independence from Mexico in 1835, further angering Mexico. When the United States annexed Texas as a state in 1845, Mexico broke off diplomatic relations. Armed conflict broke out in 1846 over conflicting claims to the Rio Grande borderlands, starting the Mexican American War.
Henry Clay was a prominent American statesman in the early 19th century known as "The Great Compromiser". He advocated for the American System to promote economic growth which included high tariffs, a national bank, and federal funding for infrastructure projects. The American System aimed to strengthen the nation by developing domestic industry and markets. However, it ultimately failed after President Madison vetoed federal funding for infrastructure as unconstitutional, leaving individual states without means to build roads. This caused the national market envisioned by the system to not fully develop and intensified regional divisions.

Westward expansion both strengthened and divided the United States. It initiated as a concept of Manifest Destiny to expand the nation's territory from coast to coast. As the nation expanded westward, tensions rose over slavery and sectionalism between the North and South. Westward expansion also displaced Native Americans who were forced onto reservations with little regard to their civil liberties. The expansion influenced economic development and population growth in new urban areas in the West. It also contributed to the spread of democratic ideals and empowerment of common citizens.
The document outlines several key events and issues that contributed to rising sectional tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Wilmot Proviso of 1846, the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Dred Scott decision of 1857, and Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, which prompted several Southern states to secede from the Union and form the Confederate States of America.
The document outlines the origins and ideals of the Democratic and Whig parties in the early 1800s. Both parties originated as factions that split from the Democratic-Republican party after the 1824 election. The Democrats, led by Andrew Jackson, favored states' rights and opposed federal involvement in economic matters. The Whigs supported a stronger federal government and policies like tariffs and internal improvements. This rivalry between the Democrats and Whigs established the Second Party System and shaped politics in the United States.
Mexican War and Compromise of 1850 (US History)Tom Richey
The Monroe Doctrine and concept of Manifest Destiny affected US relations with foreign powers by justifying American expansion westward. The US played a role in the Texan Revolution by annexing Texas after it declared independence from Mexico. This contributed to the Mexican War, where the US occupied Mexico City and gained territorial concessions through the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, including the Mexican Cession that became the American Southwest. The Gadsden Purchase further expanded the southern border in 1853.
The document discusses several key aspects of early 19th century American history, including westward expansion, population growth, industrialization, and political developments. It summarizes that Americans rapidly moved westward across the frontier, establishing an individualistic culture, while the population grew significantly between 1620 and 1860. It also outlines the growth of industry and transportation, the rise of Andrew Jackson and championing of the common man, conflicts over states' rights and slavery, and the development of the two-party system between Democrats and Whigs.
Jackson was a symbol of the emerging working and middle classes despite being born in a log cabin but living in a mansion and being a slave owner. His presidency from 1824-1840 saw an expansion of democracy and voting rights but still excluded women and racial minorities. Key events included the Nullification Crisis where Jackson asserted federal power over states' rights, the forced removal of Native Americans leading to the Trail of Tears, and dismantling the Second Bank of the United States. These policies increased executive power and economic opportunity but were also controversial.
The document provides context on Andrew Jackson's inauguration in 1828 and presidency. It describes how Jackson's inauguration was unusually rowdy, with thousands of dollars of glass and china being broken and alcohol being carried out in tubs as people celebrated. Jackson appealed to common white men and helped usher in a new era of mass politics and the spoils system. His presidency aimed to limit the power of entrenched urban elites in Washington and attacked the National Bank, which he saw as overly powerful. He also strongly supported Indian removal, negotiating treaties to move Native American tribes west of the Mississippi River.
The document discusses key events and developments during Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1829-1837. It summarizes that Jackson's presidency expanded democracy by allowing more white men to vote. It led to the growth of new political parties like the Democrats and Whigs. Though Jackson aimed for equal rights, events like the Nullification Crisis and Indian Removal highlighted regional divisions between the North and South. The document also summarizes Jackson's battles with the Bank of the United States and the economic Panic of 1837 that occurred at the end of his presidency.
The document discusses key events in the westward expansion of the United States in the early to mid-1800s, including the Louisiana Purchase, annexation of Florida, Monroe Doctrine, Missouri Compromise, Indian removal policies like the Trail of Tears, war with Mexico resulting in acquisition of territory, and tensions over states' rights and the balance of free and slave states that contributed to the impending Civil War.
The document discusses several key aspects of westward expansion and early 19th century America:
1) Americans rapidly moved westward despite facing hardships like disease and loneliness on the frontier. Frontier settlers were often individualistic, superstitious, and lacked information.
2) "Nativists" in the early 1800s feared the growing number of immigrants who they thought took jobs and overtook neighborhoods. This led to the formation of the anti-immigrant "American Party."
3) Improvements to transportation infrastructure like roads, canals, steamboats, and eventually railroads helped unite the growing nation by facilitating the movement of goods and people across vast distances. This promoted economic growth and nationalism

Jackson's early presidency was marked by rivalries between Calhoun and Van Buren. The Nullification Crisis emerged from Calhoun's doctrine that states could nullify federal laws, which was opposed by Jackson and Webster in the Webster-Hayne Debate. Jackson also removed Native Americans from their eastern lands via the Indian Removal Act and Trail of Tears. Jackson vetoed the recharter of the Second Bank of the United States and worked to destroy it, leading to economic turmoil and the Panic of 1837.

It describes Jackson's view that Indian Removal was necessary to avoid conflicts and to provide land for white settlers. It outlines how the "Five Civilized Tribes" attempted to maintain their lands but Georgia ignored Supreme Court rulings in their favor. Ultimately, around 17,000 Cherokee were forced to march west to Oklahoma, in what became known as the "Trail of Tears" in which as many as 4,000 died.
1) The document summarizes the key events and policies of Andrew Jackson's presidency from 1824-1837, including his election in 1828, the spoils system, Indian removal, nullification crisis, and conflict with the Bank of the United States.
2) It discusses the economic turmoil of the 1830s including the Panic of 1837 and recession, which Americans partly blamed on Jackson and led to the formation of the Whig Party in opposition.
3) Jackson's successor Martin Van Buren inherited severe economic problems from Jackson's policies and the destruction of the Second Bank of the United States.
The document provides an overview of the Age of Jackson and key events during his presidency. It discusses the expansion of democracy and voting rights in the 1820s, Jackson's election in 1828 which marked a change in American politics, and the growing regional tensions around issues like the tariff.

The document summarizes key events and issues during the Age of Andrew Jackson from 1823 to 1860, focusing on the rise of Jacksonian democracy and the tensions between nationalism and sectionalism. It describes Jackson's popularity as a war hero and champion of the common man. It also outlines major policy debates over the tariff, nullification, the Bank of the United States, and Indian removal, and how Jackson positioned himself on these issues which heightened sectional divisions between the North, South, and West.
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Civil War, including the abolitionist movement, the Underground Railroad, political compromises around the issue of slavery, the Dred Scott decision, Bleeding Kansas, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, and Southern states seceding after the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. It provides context on the growing sectional divide between free and slave states over the issue of expanding slavery into new territories.
Jackson is often considered the first "modern" president due to his expansion of presidential power and appeal to the common man. He introduced the spoils system, which rewarded political supporters with government jobs, and increased voter participation. However, his Indian removal policy led to the tragic Trail of Tears and disregard of Supreme Court rulings upholding tribal sovereignty. Jackson remained popular due to his opposition to elites and support for individual liberty and states' rights.
- The document discusses the forced removal of Native American tribes from their eastern lands in the 1830s under the Indian Removal Act signed by President Andrew Jackson. Specifically, it describes the forced removal of the Cherokee tribe along the Trail of Tears.
- The Cherokee were forced to relocate west of the Mississippi River, which resulted in the deaths of thousands during the forced march due to hunger, disease and exhaustion. The Cherokee called this journey the "Trail of Tears" due to its devastating effects.
- The document also discusses later attempts by the U.S. government to assimilate Native Americans through the 1887 Dawes Act, which broke up reservations and allotted land to individuals. However
1) The document discusses Andrew Jackson's life and presidency from 1820-1845, including his views on democracy, banking, Native American policy, and other issues of the time.
2) As president, Jackson opposed the national bank and pushed policies favoring expansion and the "common man," but his Indian removal policy had devastating consequences for Native Americans.
3) Jackson's two terms as president from 1828-1836 saw major changes in voting rights, the two-party system, and the economy, though his actions also led to the Panic of 1837 near the end of his time in office.
The document summarizes key aspects of the Industrial Revolution and urbanization in the northern United States in the early 1800s. It explains that industrialization began with textile mills in New England, powered by rivers and employing willing workers. Factories produced goods more cheaply and abundantly, fueling economic growth. Many rural residents moved to cities for new job opportunities, leading to rapid urbanization. Immigration also increased the urban populations as newcomers sought freedom and prosperity in America.
The document summarizes several key events in the development of slavery and states' rights in the United States between 1803-1860. It discusses the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which balanced the admission of slave and free states and established the 36°30' line. It also discusses the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, and the Dred Scott decision of 1857, all of which further exacerbated tensions around the issue of slavery and states' rights in the lead up to the 1860 presidential election and subsequent secession of southern states and Civil War.
The document is about the Industrial Revolution and related topics. It includes a table of contents that lists pages on causes of the Industrial Revolution, inventions and inventors, transportation methods like canals and railroads, and effects like urbanization. It also includes vocabulary words defined for various topics and a section describing James Hargreaves' spinning jenny invention that helped start the Industrial Revolution.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a process for the orderly expansion of the United States into the Northwest Territory through surveying and sale of the land, and a process for new states to join the union. It divided the land into townships, sections, and acres to facilitate sale. It guaranteed rights such as trial by jury, public education, freedom of religion, and prohibited slavery. When populations in areas reached certain thresholds, they could form legislatures and eventually apply for statehood. Five new states eventually joined the union through this process.
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established rules for the expansion and governance of the Northwest Territory. It implemented a rectangular survey system to divide and sell the land. One section of each township was reserved for public education. The Ordinance also laid out the process for territories in the Northwest to become states, requiring they have a population of at least 5,000 adult males to elect a legislature and 60,000 to draft a state constitution. It guaranteed rights like trial by jury, public education, freedom of religion, and prohibited slavery.
The Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established policies for settling and governing new western territories. Congress divided lands into townships and sections to survey and sell land to raise money and pay war debts. However, speculators accumulated large tracts of land, so the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a territorial government for the Northwest Territory and guaranteed property rights, religious freedom, education, and the prohibition of slavery to bring order to the settlement.
Andrew Jackson's presidency marked the rise of Jacksonian Democracy and a new kind of politics in America. Sectionalism was increasing as the interests of the North, South, and West diverged. The Missouri Compromise temporarily resolved debates over the expansion of slavery. Jackson's election in 1828 represented a shift as more common people were able to vote. As president, Jackson enacted the spoils system and removed Native Americans from their lands, leading to the tragic Trail of Tears. The Nullification Crisis and battle over the Second Bank of the United States demonstrated ongoing conflicts over states' rights and federal power.
Political cartoons use humor, exaggeration, symbolism and little text to comment on political, social and economic issues. They bring attention to issues and represent ideas through images. Analyzing cartoons involves identifying the event or issue depicted, any real people or places, symbols and their meanings, the cartoonist's viewpoint and message, and whether the viewer agrees with the opinion.
After the War of 1812, Americans began feeling a stronger sense of national unity and identity. The Era of Good Feelings emerged as political divisions lessened. John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay proposed the American System to strengthen the economy through tariffs and infrastructure projects like roads and canals. The Erie Canal's success spurred further canal construction and economic growth. Meanwhile, Latin American countries like Mexico gained independence from Spain, opening new trade opportunities, while the U.S. acquired Florida through treaty and established the Monroe Doctrine barring future European colonization in the Americas.
- John Adams was elected the second President of the United States in 1796. He lived in the White House, the first president to do so. During his term, he had to deal with tensions with France that led to an undeclared naval war. Adams lost reelection in 1800 to his vice president, Thomas Jefferson.
- The XYZ Affair damaged relations between the US and France, after French officials demanded bribes from American diplomats. This led Congress to cancel treaties with France and prepare for war. The Agreement of 1800 eventually secured peace between the two countries.
- Thomas Jefferson was elected president in the controversial election of 1800, defeating John Adams. The election exposed bitter divisions between the Federalist and Democratic
John Adams was elected the second president of the United States in 1796. During his presidency, tensions rose with France due to the XYZ Affair, which involved French officials demanding bribes from American envoys. This led to an undeclared naval war between the US and France. Adams sought peace and signed the Convention of 1800, but lost reelection in 1800 to his vice president Thomas Jefferson in a bitter campaign. Jefferson advocated for a smaller and less powerful federal government, reducing taxes and the military. However, his presidency was marked by ongoing tensions with the judiciary led by Federalist John Marshall. Jefferson also orchestrated the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the nation.
John Adams was elected the second president of the United States in 1796. During his presidency, he averted war with France through negotiations. However, his signing of the Alien and Sedition Acts damaged his popularity and he lost reelection in 1800 to his vice president, Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson sought to reduce the power of the federal government and reverse some Federalist-era policies. His Louisiana Purchase doubled the size of the United States. Jefferson also sent the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore the new western lands.
George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the United States in New York City in 1789. He worked to define the role of the presidency and established important precedents, such as creating the first presidential cabinet. Washington faced challenges in uniting the new nation and establishing its financial system. [END SUMMARY]

(1831): John Marshall
•The Court ruled that the state of Georgia could
not seize the lands of a "domestic, dependent
nation" which possessed some sovereignty. The
Cherokees were NOT a foreign nation as
described in the Constitution.
•"The conditions of the Indians in relation to the
United States is perhaps unlike that of any two
people in existence," Chief Justice John
Marshall wrote, "their relation to the United
States resembles that of a ward to his guardian.
(they were a) domestic dependent nation."
•Established a "trust relationship" with the tribes
directly under federal authority.
5. Worcester v. Georgia
(1832): John Marshall
•Established tribal autonomy (selfgoverning state, community, or group
within their boundaries),
•The tribes were “distinct political
communities, having territorial boundaries
within which their authority is exclusive
(private).”
•The Court ruled that the laws of Georgia
had not force within the territorial
boundaries of the Cherokee Nation.

“Our conduct toward these people is deeply
interesting to our national character….Our
ancestors found them the uncontrolled
possessors of these vast regions.
By persuasion and force they have been made
to retire from river to river and from mountain
to mountain, until some of the tribes have
become extinct and others have left but
remnants to preserve for awhile their once
terrible names.

Surrounded by the whites with their arts
of civilization, which by destroying the
resources of the savage doom him to
weakness and decay, the fate of the
Mohegan, Narragansett, and the
Delaware is fast overtaking the Choctaw,
the Cherokee, and the Creek.
That this fate surely awaits them if they
remain within the limits of the States does
not admit of a doubt.
Humanity and national honor demand
that every effort should be made to avert
such a calamity.
9. Division in the Cherokee Nation
• Cherokee went from being a peaceful nation
to a group of people who were divided.
• Some Cherokee in cooperation with the US
government illegally signed the Treaty of
New Echota
– US government would give land and goods to
the Cherokee who left their land peacefully.
• Georgia and the U.S. government used the
treaty as justification to force almost all of
the 17,000 Cherokees from their
southeastern homeland.
16. trail 1
•We were eight days in making
the journey (80 miles), and it was
pitiful to behold the women &
children who suffered exceedingly
as they were all obliged to walk,
with the exception of the sick....
•I had three regular ministers of
the gospel in my party, and
•we have preaching or prayer meeting every night while on the
march, and you may well imagine that under the peculiar
circumstances of the case, among those sublime mountains and in
the deep forest with the thunder often roaring in the distance, that
nothing could be more solemn and impressive.
•And I always looked on with awe, lest their prayers which I felt...
ascending to Heaven and calling for justice to Him who alone can &
will grant it... [might] fall upon my guilty head as one of the
instruments of oppression.
Lt. L.B. Webster

Long time we travel on way to new land. People feel bad
when they leave old nation. Women cry and make sad wails.
Children cry and many men cry, and all look sad like when
friends die, but they say nothing and just put heads down
and keep on go towards West. Many days pass and people
die very much. We bury close by Trail.

22. Tariff of 1828
The constitutional
doctrine of

was used to
justify higher
protective tariffs
•Protective tariff would be raised to 45% on a
dollar….
•South upset with this b/c they saw the US Govt.
favoring the North and industry…
•Feared the US Govt. would take away slavery

Eaton Affair and Tariff of 1828
•Tariff of Abomination
•Calhoun becomes a US Senator from South
Carolina and defends slavery and state’s rights.
•Calhoun threatened secession (leaving the US) if
tariff was not lowered.
•Calhoun believed in the doctrine of nullification
or each state had the right to decide whether to
obey a federal law or to declare it null and void
•South Carolina Exposition---Compact theory
24. • Jackson persuaded Congress to pass
a Force Bill giving the president
authority to take military action in SC
• Jackson issued a Proclamation to the
People of SC stating that nullification
and disunion were treason
• Jackson also suggested that
Congress lower the tariff
25. The Nullification Crisis
• Compromise of 1833
–
–
–
–
–
•
Henry Clay proposes a compromise
Tariffs were gradually lowered---25% over 10 years
South Carolina dropped nullification
South lost its dominance to North and West
Jackson preserved the Union
Southerners believed they were becoming a
permanent minority
–
As that feeling of isolation grew, it was not
nullification but the threat of secession that
ultimately became the South’s primary weapon.

United States was unconstitutional
• In 1832, an election
year, Henry Clay
decided to challenge
Jackson on the bank

Martin Van Buren: "Go it Hickory, my old Duffer! give it to him in the bread basket, it will make him throw up his deposits!" Major Jack Downing (a mythical Jacksonian hero): "I swan if the Ginral hain't been taken lessons from Fuller!" The man standing next to the whiskey bottle: "Hurrah my old yallow flower of the forrest, walk into him like a streak of Greased lightning through a gooseberry bush!"
