Skill 3: Summarize how South Carolina's refusal to acknowledge the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 challenged the U.S. Constitution
"The vain threats of resistance by those who [in South Carolina] have raised the standard of rebellion shew their madness and folly... In forty days, I can have withing the limits of S. Carolina fifty thousand men... The Union will be preserved."

The North Takes Advantage of the South
Tax
English Shoes: $1.25 +$0.50 $1.75
Mass Shoes: $1.50 +$0.00-$0.24 $1.50-$1.74
Mass would raise prices to anything from $1.50- $1.74 (they are still the cheapest shoes)
Mass gets more profits on the shoes!
