The nullification crisis came to an end in 1833 largely due to President Andrew Jackson's firm stance against South Carolina's attempt to nullify federal tariffs. Jackson threatened military action to enforce federal law, which pressured South Carolina to back down. Simultaneously, a compromise tariff was proposed by Henry Clay, which gradually reduced tariffs over the next decade, addressing some of the grievances while maintaining federal authority. This combination of federal resolve and compromise ultimately resolved the crisis.
