South Carolina’s Nullifier party won most districts in the October 1832 state House elections and then used that majority to call a convention. The convention voided the 1828 and 1832 tariffs on November 24 because the duties raised the price of imported goods and cut the return on cotton sold abroad. President Jackson denounced the ordinance. Congress then passed the Force Bill, a law that let him use the army and navy to collect the tariff in South Carolina. In March 1833 Congress also passed Kentucky senator Henry Clay’s compromise tariff, which stepped the rates down. South Carolina repealed the measure on March 15, 1833. (Chauncey S.
