Sectionalism is growing in CH 13. It’s when 2 areas/things

EVERYTHING IS DUE TOMORROW!
1)What was the presidency of John Quincy Adams Like? What do we
remember him for?
John Quincy Adams was not at all a popular president, with less than 1/3 of
voters having voted for him. He was still strongly nationalistic and strongly
against states' rights. Many decisions he made upset the people, such as
focusing on transportation systems and establishing an astronomical
observatory. His land policy also antagonized westerners. Remembered more
for his fathers name and the late Amistad case of 1840 that was a trigger
leading into the Civil War.
2) What 2 parties did the Republican party split into?
What happened in the Adams v. Jackson election(s)? The temporarily united
Republicans had officially spit into two parties; the National Republicans led
by Adams, and the Democratic-Republicans, led by Andrew Jackson. Adams
would face criticism from Jacksonites throughout his entire presidency until
the next election. "Old Hickory" Jackson would beat Adams with an
electoral vote of 178 to 83.
3)What was Andrew Jackson like and why did he get the nickname “Old
Hickory”?
Jackson was the first president from the West, and only the second one
without a college education. He was one of these kids who felt that fighting
was more important than spelling or writing. His inauguration symbolized
the ascendancy of the masses, and came to be known as the "inaugural
brawl." He was tough as Hickory wood and prone to gun duels…Had a
bullet lodged in his ribcage for over 15 years/lead…TOUGH!
5)Where does the term “to the victor goes the spoils” come from and what is
the “Spoils System”?
The spoils system was introduced under Jackson, and was inevitably
accompanied by scandal. Positions in high office were given to men who
openly bought their posts. Positions of public trust were given to illiterates,
incompetents and crooks. At the same time, the system was important in the
emerging two-party order. Americans now had more reason to pick a party
and stick with it.
4)What was the “Tariff of Abominations” and how did this lead to the
“Nullification Crisis”?
KEY More sectionalism and Divisions as we lead ultimately towards CIVIL
WAR!
The Tariff of Abominations greatly upset all southerners, as the rates were
outrageously high. Southerners saw this as discrimination against them,
because protective tariffs protected Yankee and middle-state manufacturers,
but it hurt Southern states. The tariff also brought about growing anxiety
about possible federal interference with the institution of slavery. Going
against the tariff, South Carolinians composed The South Carolina
Exposition, which stated that the tariff was unjust and unconstitutional, and
proposed that the states should nullify it.
The Nullification Crisis deepened while South Carolinians tried to nullify
the tariff, the new Tariff of 1832 was passed. Nullies and Unionists clashed
but the tariff was nullified with over 2/3 majority. Jackson, angry about the
defiance of a state, went to South Carolina, and thanks to Henry Clay the
compromise Tariff of 1833 made it through Congress. However, at the same
time, the Force Bill was passed and then nullified in South Carolina as well.
Neither side was completely satisfied but it would do in order to avoid civil
war.

Tariff (A tariff is a tax on imports or exports)
Definition: Constitutional struggle between some states and President Andrew Jackson. The
states didn't want to pay the protective tariff that Jackson wanted, and the states claimed the
right to "nullify," or declare void the tariff. This would have meant that the states didn't
have to pay the tariff. More importantly, it would have meant that the states would have had
authority over the federal government in a basic economic matter like the tariff. The states
involved withdrew their objection to the tariff, mainly because of yet another compromise
bill introduced by Henry Clay. This bill gradually reduced tariffs for 11 years, putting off
the nullification question until then.
