speculation

demand for American farm goods dropped.
* Resluts =
* Farmers could not pay loans

* Unemployment spread to the eastern cities
* The Politics of the Panic
* The short-lived Panic of 1819 disrupted the

* SLAVERY
* MISSOURI:

Compromise
* Missouri enters as a slave state
* Maine enters as a free
* Slavery woul dbe banned in all territory north of 36°30
(Mizzou’s southern border)
* The Slavery Question
* The Missouri Compromise showed that sectional
divisions over slavery’s westward expansion
seriously endangered the federal union.
* The domination of the presidency by Virginians
since the founding, except for the term of John
Adams of Massachusetts, reinforced northerners’
sense that southern slave owners dominated
national politics, and they knew that more slave
states would mean more political power for the
South in Congress.
* The issue eventually sparked the Civil War.

* The Party System
* Andrew Jackson was a man of contradictions.
* He was not well educated but he was eloquent;
* he championed the common man but excluded
Indians and African-Americans from democracy;
* he rose from modest origins to become a rich man
and slaveowner in Tennessee,
* he disliked banks, paper money, and some of the
results of the market revolution;
*
he was a strong nationalist who believed that
states, not the federal government, should govern,
and he opposed federal intervention in the economy
or interference in private life.
* Politics was a “mass activity”
* Spoils system begins….
* Democrats and Whigs
* Tensions b/t national and sectional loyalties
Democrats
Whigs
Worried about growing
social class gap

*

* South Carolina and Nullification
* The Contradiction of Jackson’s First Term:
* Dedicated defender to states’ rights; however, his
first term saw major efforts to uphold federal
supremacy!
* 1828 Tariff, or the “Tariff of Abominations”
* Increase tariff on imported goods
* SC threatened to nullify, or declare it void.
* Calhoun’s Political Theory
* VP John C. Calhoun (SC) spearheaded the charge
for nullification
* States had created the nat’l govt
* Each state had the right to prevent laws passed by
Congress it deemed unconstitutional
* Others, notably Daniel Webster, argued
nullification was illegal.
* The Nullification Crisis
* Calhoun’s theory offered the South a political
philosophy to use later on….. Hmmmm….
* Calhoun argued that the theory actually
preserved the Union….
* To President Jackson, nullification was disunion
* Authorized armed collection of taxes!
* To avoid war, Clay and Calhoun created a
compromise tariff in 1833 (it reduced the duties…)
* In the end, Calhoun abandoned the Democratic
Party and joined the Whigs, united only byt heir
hatred for Jackson.
* Indian Removal
* The Supreme Court and the Indians
