The key and historically significant content is the entire text of President Andrew Jackson's Nullification Proclamation, starting on page 12, and ending with his signature, Andrew Jackson on the back page.
The Nullification Proclamation disputed a state's right to nullify a federal law, an issue in South Carolina at the time which felt that recent tariff acts favored Northern manufacturing interests at the expense of Southern farmers. Also included is the lengthy address to the Legislature of South Carolina made by James Hamilton, Jr.
Sixteen pages, 6 by 9 1/4 inches, minor light foxing, nice condition.
AI notes: Andrew Jackson’s Nullification Proclamation of 1832 responded to South Carolina’s challenge to federal authority during the Nullification Crisis. South Carolina, angered by the Tariff of 1828, declared the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null and void within the state, asserting its right to reject federal laws. Jackson, viewing this as a threat to national unity, issued the proclamation, rejecting nullification and emphasizing federal supremacy. He warned South Carolina that secession or rebellion would not be tolerated.
