Nullification Crisis/Force Bill
In 1828, Congress passed a tax on imported goods. The South was angered by this as they thought it favored the North, because factories and trade were based in the North. South Carolina, encouraged by Jackson's vice president, John C. Calhoun, declared the tax null and void, and if Jackson tried to enforce the tax, they would secede from the the United States. This led to Andrew Jackson signing the Force Bill, which stated that the Federal Army could be used to collect taxes. This was another act of tyranny, as Andrew Jackson threatened his own citizens.
