Seamus Moran Chapter 14: Jacksonian Democracy at Flood Tide 11/18/12 ?Nullies? in South Carolina? South Carolinians, still scornful toward the?Tariff of 1828, attempted to acquire the necessary two-thirds majority to nullify it in the S.C. legislature, but determined Unionists blocked them. In response to the anger at the ?Tariff of Abominations,? Congress passed the?Tariff of 1832, which did away with the worst parts of the Tariff of 1828, such as lowering the tariff down to 35%, a reduction of 10%, but many southerners still hated it. In the elections of 1832, the?Nullies?came out with a two-thirds majority over the Unionists, met in the state legislature, and declared the Tariff of 1832 to be void within S.C. boundaries.

Patrick Connolly Mr. Campbell Honors American History 27 January 2013 Reconstruction or Restoration? Directly following the Civil War, there were many questions left unanswered. Supposedly the North had won, and it was up to the remaining leaders to decide: what to do about the rebel leaders, what to do about the seceded states, and what to do about the freed slaves. A lot of those questions were answered during the period of ?reconstruction,? but the process of figuring those things out was a very shaky one. To reconstruct is to ?construct again,? or ?rebuild.? It can also be argued that this period following the Civil War was a time of restoration (the bringing back or reinstating) of the South to its previous state.
