Andrew Jackson was a man not many people wanted to mess with. The tariff of 1828 also known as the tariff of abominations greatly affected the South because it was geared towards protecting the Norths industry based economy. John C. Calhoun who was a political rival of Jackson's was not at all in favor of the tariff. In fact, so much so that he threatened that South Carolina would secede if the tariff was not dismissed. However, Jackson countered this threat by threatening to send the army and hang him and use force to keep S.C from seceding.
