MSN Encarta - <bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina

<bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina was one of only three states with a black majority, and thus the entire white population was especially apprehensive about what would happen to their society if the slaves became free.
Members from the Deep <bb>>Southb>bb>> (North Carolina, <bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida) believed that slavery was essential to their cotton-centered agricultural system and that the North was trying to dominate the national economy.
For the most part, rice was grown on large plantations by slave labor; by 1708 blacks outnumbered whites in <bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina.

Jackson's Proclamation to <bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina

Andrew Jackson regarded the <bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina Ordinance of Nullification of November 1932 as a clear threat to the federal union and to national authority.
The excise law in Pennsylvania, the embargo and nonintercourse law in the Eastern states, the carriage tax in Virginia were all deemed unconstitutional, and were more unequal in their operation than any of the laws now complained of; but, fortunately, none of those states discovered that they had the right now claimed by <bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina.
If <bb>>Southb>bb>> Carolina considers the revenue laws unconstitutional and has a right to prevent their execution in the port of Charleston, there would be a clear constitutional objection to their collection in every other port; and no revenue could be collected anywhere, for all imposts must be equal.
