Presidential Election of 1828 (with electoral vote by state)
Jackson swept the South and West, whereas Adams retained the old Federalist stronghold of the Northeast. Yet Jackson’s inroads in the Northeast were decisive. He won twenty of New York’s electoral votes and all twenty-eight of Pennsylvania’s. If those votes had gone the other way, Adams would have been victorious—by a margin of one vote.

NULLIFICATION CRISIS.
![Page 14: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The America System Created for trade between the North and South
and expanding buildling infrastructure in the West As well as:
a high protective tariff to promote industry the sale of public lands at low prices to encourage western
settlement federally financed transportation improvements expanded markets for western grain and southern cotton a strong national bank to regulate the economy
![Page 15: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So where is the problem? “Tariff of Abomination”-1828 Tariff supposed to promote growth in all parts of the country. infuriated Southerners who believed that it
favored Northeastern industrial interests at their region’s expense
Why? it raised the cost of manufactured goods, which
they did not produce
![Page 16: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ConsequencesNullification Crisis John C. Calhoun-V.P. Maintains that a state might overrule or “nullify” a federal law within its own territory, until three-quarters
of the states had upheld the law as constitutional.
![Page 17: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Nullification Crisis Tariff of 1832, Jackson passes in an
attempt to ease tension Still viewed as oppressive to the South and
South Carolina declares the Tariff of 1828 and the Tariff of 1832 null and void To defend nullification the state legislature
agrees to raise an army
![Page 18: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nullification Crisis-Response Jackson declares nullification illegal
Asked congress to use force to execute the federal law=the Force Act
Jackson promises to “hang every leader….of that infatuated people, sir, by martial law, irrespective of his name or political or social position.”
Sends 8 ships and 5,000 muskets to Fort Pickney in Charleston Harbor
![Page 19: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Nullification Crisis-Response Clay “great compromiser” persuades
Congress to pass a tariff with lower protectionist levels
South Carolina backs down, but passes a state law that permits nullification
![Page 20: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Nullification Crisis I consider the Tariff, but as the occasion, rather than the real cause
of the present unhappy state of things. The truth can no longer be disguised, that the peculiar domestick institution of the Southern States, and the consequent direction, which that and her soil and climate have given to her industry, have placed them in regard to taxation and appropriations in opposite relation to the majority of the Union; against the danger of which, if there be no protective power in the reserved rights of the States, they must in the end be forced to rebel, or submit to have their permanent interests sacraficed, their domestick institutions subverted by Colonization and other schemes, and themselves & children reduced to wretchedness. Thus situated, the denial of the right of the State to interfere constitutionally in the last resort, more alarms the thinking, than all other causes. –John C. Calhoun
![Page 21: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rationale against Nullification Daniel Webster (MA): declared that states
who disagreed with action of the federal government had the right to sue or amend the Constitution, but no right to nullify the federal Law
“Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable.”

WAR ON THE BANK OF THE UNITED STATES
![Page 23: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
War on the Bank Had been rechartered in 1816 had been blamed for the Panic of 1819 People resented its political influence Private banks resented its privileged
position in the banking industry
![Page 24: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
War on the BUS During 1832-Henry Clay, Daniel Webster
and other Jackson opponents made the BUS a political issue for the campaign
Congress rechartered the Bank –but WHY? Wanted to force Jackson to either sign the bill for
the recharter or ostracize voters who favored the bank
![Page 25: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Result Jackson VETOES the recharter of the BUS.
Clay and Webster had underestimated the peoples opinion of the Bank and Jackson easily sweeps the election of 1832-defeating Clay 219 votes to 49.
![Page 26: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Symptoms of a Locked Jaw
An outraged and outmaneuvered Henry Clay vainly tries to “muzzle” Andrew Jackson after Jackson’s stinging message vetoing the bill to recharter the Bank of the United States.
![Page 27: The Age of Jackson](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032606/56812de9550346895d93450b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Jackson’s view on the BUS attacked the bank as an agency through
which speculators, monopolists, and other seekers after economic privilege cheated honest farmers and mechanics.

Jackson the “Great Father”
An anonymous cartoonist satirizes Jackson’s alleged compassion for the Indians, but in fact his feelings toward Native Americans were complicated. He made ruthless war on the Creeks as a soldier, but he also adopted a Creek Indian son (who died of tuberculosis at the age of sixteen). At least in part, his motives for pursuing Indian removal stemmed from his concern that if the Indians were not removed from contact with the whites, they would face certain annihilation.
