James Hargreaves
Eli Whitney
Samuel Slater
Richard Arkwright
For what reason did the concept of manufacturing take on such a slow start in the United States?
Americans were too lazy to work in a factory. They are used to doing whatever they please.
Most Americans elected to own their own farms instead of working in factories due to the amount of available land in which they could farm. Also, Britain had a large workforce which allowed them to make more goods at lower prices, giving them a competative advantage over U.S. produceres.
Factories in England were mostly unsuccessful. Americans were unwilling to invest in factories or commit to working in one until the English became more successful.
What war can we say was the push Americans needed to increase their investment in industry? Hint- It had to do with a blockade the British had on American ports, creating shortages in manufactured consumer goods previously imported from Europe, particularly Britain. Oh, also James Madison was president at this time.

In the early phase of the Industrial Revolution factories had to be located near the workers. With the shift to steam power the factories could be moved as far away from the workers as possible. Most factories were built on the far edge of the western frontier.

Vice President John C. Calhoun challenged President Jackson's position on tarrifs. Calhoun believed in nullification, or the idea that a state may rule whether a Federal law is or is not Constitutional in their particular state. If it finds the law to be unconstitutional in their state they do not have to obey it. The idea of nullification was based on the precedent set by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison in 1798 and 1799 in response to The Alien and Sedition Acts.

Vice President Calhoun was forced to resign after joining Henry Clay and the newly formed Whig Party in opposition to President Jackson.
What were the arguments made by Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts against the idea of Nullification proposed by Senator John C. Calhoun of South Carolina?
Nullification would only work in the deep south, where the states were all united together by their use of slave labor.
Nullification could benefit the north if they decided to nullify taxes placed on northern manufactured products. This couod also help the economy of southern states who prefered to buy their manufactured goods from the North.
If the states had the right to nullfy Federal laws, the Union would fall apart. The Constitution united not only the states, but the people of the United States as well.
Senator Webster supported Senator Calhoun's idea of nullification because he supported the idea of states' rights. As a northerner, however, he could not support the concept because it would upset the balance of power in Congress between free states and slave states.
What did The Nullification Act passed by South Carolina in 1832 state?
South Carolina would not follow any Federal Law that it believed to be unconstitutional in their state. If the Federal government tried to enforce Federal Law in South Carolina the state of South Carolina would secede from the Union.
South Carolina would only follow Federal Law if they were allowed to write all Federal laws concerning taxes.
South Carolina refused to follow Federal law unless John C. Calhoun were named President of The United States.
South Carolina would follow all Federal laws except those involving tarrifs placed on Northern exports to England, which they believed were unconstitutional.
How did President Jackson end the Nullification crisis and avoid a potential Civil War in 1836?
President Jackson allowed South Carolina to nullify the Tarrif of 1832. He also had Congress pass a lower tarrif that would be more acceptable to the South.
President Jackson sent a private letter to Senator John C. Calhoun stating that he would personally go to South Carolina and hang the first rebel that he could find (Calhoun) to the first tree that he could find if one drop of blood was shed in defiance of Federal law. Then he asked Congress to pass The Force Act allowing him as Commander in Chief to use the army to enforce the law in South Carolina if necessary. He also asked Congress to pass a lower tarrif to be fair to the south.
President Jackson sent a private letter to Senator Calhoun that stated "Our Federal Union- It must be preserved!" He then had Senator Calhoun impeached for the commission of Treason. Calhoun was later executed.
President Jackson recieved a letter from Senator Calhoun that said " The Union- Next to Liberty, most dear!" Jackson was convinced of Senator Calhoun's determination to resist Federal Law, and decided that the only way to avoid a war was to allow South Carolina to secede and become its own nation in 1837.

The Pet Banks took over the functions of the 2nd Bank of the United States and the economy of the United States experienced a period of strong growth as farmers purchased land and in the west and developed productive farms.
The Pet Banks took over the functions of the 2nd Bank of the United States and the economy of the United States experienced a depression. The Pet banks could not coordinate the production and distribution of currency and they printed more money than there was gold to back it. They loaned the money to farmers who purchased land in the west with money that was not backed by gold in value. This caused a large spike in inflation in the United States.
Nicholas Biddle and the Whig Party fell out of favor with the people of the United States when their plan to ruin the reputation of president Jackson by ruining the economy of the United States was revealed. The economy grew and Americans enjoyed a long period of economic prosperity.
