American sectional crisis during the presidency of Andrew Jackson
POPULARITY
John C. Calhoun is one of the most complex figures in American history. Serving as vice president under two different presidents and leaving an enduring mark on the nation's political landscape, he was a man of immense intellect and unshakable convictions. His advocacy for states' rights, his role in the Nullification Crisis, and his staunch defense of slavery placed him at the center of some of the most heated debates of the 19th century. While he never ascended to the presidency, his influence on American politics—both during his lifetime and in the following decades—was undeniable. Yet, Calhoun was more than just a politician; he was also a man shaped by his family, his heritage, and the world in which he lived. His Scots-Irish ancestry, his upbringing on the South Carolina frontier, and his marriage into a prominent Southern family all played a role in molding his beliefs. To truly understand Calhoun, one must explore his political career and the people and traditions that influenced him...

In this episode, we explore the Nullification Crisis, a pivotal clash between federal authority and states' rights during Andrew Jackson's presidency. Sparked by the controversial Tariff of 1828, South Carolina's opposition and the advocacy of nullification by John C. Calhoun set the stage for a constitutional showdown, ultimately resolved through compromise. This crisis foreshadowed the deeper sectional tensions leading to the Civil War, highlighting the ongoing struggle between state sovereignty and federal power in American politics.
This week on The Learning Curve co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Ret. MN Justice Barry Anderson interview USAF Academy's professor emerita, Jeanne Heidler. Dr. Heidler discusses Henry Clay's legacy as a seminal figure in American history. She covers Clay's early life, his transformation from a Virginia farm boy to a leading statesman, and his being mentored in the law by Founding Father, George Wythe. Dr. Heidler explores Clay's key contributions to U.S. public service, including his diplomatic role in ending the War of 1812, as well as his legislative work during the Missouri Compromise, the Nullification Crisis, and the Compromise of 1850. She addresses Clay's controversial role in the Election of 1824 and his tenure as secretary of state. She continues by discussing Clay's private life, his wife Lucretia, his conflicting positions on slavery, and his enduring impact trying to preserve the Union. In closing, Dr. Heidler reads a passage from her co-authored book, Henry Clay: The Essential American.

Our guest today is Kenny Ryan, host of another great history pod, Abridged Presidential Histories with Kenny Ryan. Abridged Presidential Histories Podcast with Kenny Ryan launched its first episode at the end of March, 2020, and has progressed through the American presidencies chronologically. If you have listened to Abridged Presidential Histories, you already know that it includes narrative episodes with a lot of amusing factoids told with humor in solo narrative form – I think you all know I like that sort of thing – and some very interesting interviews with historians who are expert in the relevant presidencies. We had a wide-ranging conversation, and covered a lot of interesting stuff, including: The changing reputations of Jackson, Grant, JFK, and LBJ. Presidential histories take about 50 years to settle down, because they need to be written by people who were not politically aware as they happened. Should Martin Van Buren get more credit for "Jacksonian Democracy?" Jackson should get more credit for his handling of the Nullification Crisis. What president would Kenny like to have as a friend? Surprising answer! Who was the biggest party animal among the presidents? Should our politicians spend more time drinking and playing cards? Who were the greatest First Ladies? The influence of Dolly Madison and Lady Bird Johnson. Did young Kenny meet Lady Bird on a field trip? Austin's moontowers. Who was the most overrated president? The revival of Calvin Coolidge's reputation on the political right. What presidents would you invite on a pub crawl? Will Nixon be rehabilitated? Is journalism really the "first draft of history"? And much more! Jack on Twitter: @TheHistoryOfTh2 Kenny on Twitter: @APHpodcast [Abridged] Presidential Histories with Kenny Ryan (website) ...and on Apple.

Andrew Jackson takes the stage in this, the fourth of four sets of readings from Akhil's forthcoming (May) book, “The Words That Made Us.” Jackson's complex makeup, combining qualities from Washington and Jefferson, is revealed, and his status as America's first truly Western president is explained, as is the shadow that his utter failure on slavery casts. Still, his championing of Union is one of the great Constitutional episodes of the early Republic, and Akhil gives a vivid description of this, the Nullification Crisis. Somehow this leads to the insight that The Crown is like The Godfather. Go figure. The podcast is sponsored by EverScholar (everscholar.org), where a few spots remain for an amazing, immersive learning experience in Greece this August.
“U” is for Unionists. Unionists in South Carolina were anti-secessionists and supporters of the federal Union in the decades prior to the Civil War—especially during the Nullification Crisis of the 1830s and the secession crises of 1850 and 1860. Unionist strongholds were in white majority districts such as Greenville, Horry, Pickens, and Spartanburg. Although unable to prevent the passage of the Ordinance of Nullification, they created a statewide network of militia units that were in contact with President Andrew Jackson. In part, because of determined Unionist opposition—and the threat of internal armed conflict—the nullifiers sought compromise rather than confrontation with the federal government. The rise of abolitionism and fears of its influence weakened Unionists in South Carolina. Among the leading Unionists were Joel R. Poinsett, James L. Petigru, and Benjamin F. Perry.
In this lecture, Dr. Totten argues John Adams' opposition to a war with France saved the young nation but doomed his political career and paved the way for the election of Thomas Jefferson. By stepping down from the presidency after two terms, George Washington ensured the Republic would survive with the precedent of a two term limit that was later enshrined in constitutional law in the 1950s. Adams administration was dominated by the Quasi-War with France, an undeclared war between French and American ships. American delegates attempted to negotiate with the French foreign minister, Talleyrand, but instead were met with demands for a private bribe and a public loan for France. The resulting XYZ Affair led to the further deterioration of relations between America and her former ally. With a large French immigrant population in America, the Congress passed the Alien and Sedition Act, which criminalized free speech. As a result, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison wrote the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, which enunciated the concept of Nullification that later directly led to the Nullification Crisis of 1832 and the Secession Crisis of 1861. The election of 1800 between Jefferson and Adams was a highly contentious campaign, with numerous slanders and libels cast by supporters of both candidates. While Jefferson defeated Adams in the Electoral College, he tied his running mate Aaron Burr, who refused to concede defeat, as he was highly ambitious and unscrupulous politician. Alexander Hamilton helped throw the election in Jefferson's favor, because while he may disagree with Jefferson's politics, he at least knew he had principles, unlike Burr. Thus, Jefferson became president and stated: "We are all republicans, we are all federalists." While this was meant to unite the country, Jefferson meant it an invitation for everyone to join his party, as the concept of a loyal opposition party was still not yet firmly established in the American political process.

This month's Saturday Webinar was about the Nullification Crisis of 1832. Our program began with the question, which comes up so often in early American History on the topic of slavery and sectionalism, which is "why South Carolina?" What made that state - since the Constitutional Convention and even before, so seemingly intransigent about issues important to them? What about other states, especially in the South - were they as unyielding in their views on local issues, as well? Discussed at length were the historical and immediate economic and political roots of the Nullification Crisis, how the Crisis itself developed and unfolded, and how it was resolved, and in terms that were surprisingly familiar to modern listeners: bank foreclosures, lost homes, and a federal government at odds with local priorities.

For the first 180 years of Charleston’s existence—from the arrival of the first settlers, through the entire colonial era and the American Revolution, through the War of 1812 and the Nullification Crisis, right up to the middle of the nineteenth century—Charlestonians rode their horses and drove their carriages on the left side of the road. Why?
Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was an American soldier and statesman who served as the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837 and was the founder of the Democratic Party. Before being elected to the presidency, Jackson served in Congress and gained fame as a general in the United States Army. As president, Jackson sought to advance the rights of the "common man" against a "corrupt aristocracy" and to preserve the Union. He became a practicing lawyer in Tennessee and in 1791 he married Rachel Donelson Robards. Jackson served briefly in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Upon returning to Tennessee, he was appointed a justice on the Tennessee Supreme Court, serving from 1798 until 1804. In 1801, Jackson was appointed colonel in the Tennessee militia, and was elected its commander the following year. He led Tennessee militia and U.S. Army regulars during the Creek War of 1813–1814, winning a major victory at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. The subsequent Treaty of Fort Jackson required the Creek surrender of vast lands in present-day Alabama and Georgia. Jackson won a decisive victory in the War of 1812 over the British army at the Battle of New Orleans, making him a national hero. Following the conclusion of the War of 1812, Jackson led U.S. forces in the First Seminole War, which helped produce the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819 and the transfer of Florida from Spain to the United States. Following the ratification of the treaty, Jackson briefly served as Florida's first territorial governor before winning election as a U.S. Senator from Tennessee. Jackson was a candidate for president in 1824 but, lacking a majority of electoral votes, lost the election in the House of Representatives to John Quincy Adams. In reaction to a "corrupt bargain" between opponents Adams and Henry Clay, Jackson's supporters founded the Democratic Party. He ran again for president in 1828 against Adams and won in a landslide. As president, Jackson faced a threat of secession by South Carolina over the "Tariff of Abominations" enacted under Adams. The Nullification Crisis was defused when the tariff was amended and Jackson threatened the use of military force if South Carolina attempted to secede. Congress, led by Clay, attempted to reauthorize the Second Bank of the United States; Jackson regarded the Bank as a corrupt institution and vetoed the renewal of its charter. After a lengthy struggle, Jackson and the congressional Democrats thoroughly dismantled the Bank. In 1835, Jackson became the only president to completely pay off the national debt, fulfilling a longtime goal. In foreign affairs, Jackson's administration concluded a "most favored nation" treaty with Great Britain, settled U.S. claims of damages by France from the Napoleonic Wars, and recognized the Republic of Texas. His presidency marked the beginning of the ascendancy of the "spoils system" in American politics. In 1830, Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, which relocated most members of the Native American tribes in the South to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). The relocation process dispossessed the Indians and resulted in widespread death and sickness. In his retirement, Jackson remained active in Democratic Party politics, supporting the presidencies of Martin Van Buren and James K. Polk. Jackson was widely revered in the United States, but his reputation has declined since the mid-20th century, largely due to his role in Indian removal and support for slavery. Surveys of historians and scholars have ranked Jackson between 6th and 18th most successful among United States presidents. From Wikipedia.

There was little doubt that the John C. Calhoun who began his career as a Congressman representing the 6th District of South Carolina and who rose to serve as James Monroe’s Secretary of War, was a different man politically than the John C. Calhoun who was overwhelmingly selected to serve as the 7th Vice President of the United States under both John Quincy Adams and his successor Andrew Jackson. A supporter of protective tariffs, he would begin to oppose them and where he once advocated a strong Federal Government, his allegiances began to shift towards State’s Rights, and limited, more restrained authority. It would be this political realignment that would, on December 28th, 1832, lead him to become the first Vice President to resign the Office. The significance of Calhoun leaving the office was not in the fact that he had. Former Senator and Governor of New York turned Secretary of State Martin Van Buren would already be elected to replace Calhoun as Jackson’s Vice President. Increasingly at odds with President Jackson, Calhoun had assured Van Buren’s place as his successor in his attempt to destroy the man’s political career by casting the tie-breaking vote to block him from serving as US Minister to the United Kingdom. As the Nullification Debate raged on, Calhoun was the leader of that ideological movement that believed States had the right to nullify federal laws within their borders. As Senator Robert Y. Haynes had proven ill-equipped to defend South Carolina’s position, especially when faced Massachusetts Senator Daniel Webster in the Senate Debate, he would leave for the Governor’s Office while Calhoun would take over his seat in the Senate. Part of the issue here was that the Supreme Court, under then Chief Justice John Marshall, had already rejected Nullification as early as 1809 in the United States v. Peters, stating, “If the legislatures of the several States may, at will, annul the judgments of the courts of the United States, and destroy the rights acquired under those judgments, the Constitution itself becomes a solemn mockery, and the nation is deprived of the means of enforcing its laws by the instrumentality of its own tribunals. So fatal a result must be deprecated by all, and the people of Pennsylvania, not less than the citizens of every other State, must feel a deep interest in resisting principles so destructive of the union, and in averting consequences so fatal to themselves.” James Madison, one of the Chief Architects of the Constitution would assert that the Federal Courts, not the states, had the power to determine the Constitutionality of a federal law. Still, the Nullification Crisis was a long time coming in the new nation as States and the Federal Government both sought to assert their place and their power within the Republic. Yet despite most of the states challenging the Federal Authority at one point or another, Calhoun and South Carolina would stand alone in 1832 in their disregard of the Tariffs of 1828 and 1832, even though most of the Southern States still reliant on a slave economy had a stake in asserting the ability to invalidate Federal Law. The situation would escalate with South Carolina preparing to assert nullification by force if necessary and President Andrew Jackson ready to respond in kind. Eventually the issue would become moot as a compromise would be reached. Yet, as Andrew Jackson would recognize, the issue would be far from over, stating, “"the tariff was only a pretext, and disunion and southern confederacy the real object. The next pretext will be the negro, or slavery question." Still, until 1973, when Spiro Agnew stepped down, he was the only man to ever resign from the Vice Presidency. Though he would remain in the Senate and serve briefly as Secretary of State, the Presidency that he wanted would remain forever out of his grasp.
