In 1832, Andrew Jackson implemented a new tariff on goods. South Carolina, led by Andrew Jackson's former vice president and ardent states' right supporter John C. Calhoun, claimed that it could nullify the order from the federal government and not implement it. Jackson, a staunch proponent of the central government, made it very clear that he would use military might to force South Carolina to accept the tariff if they did not do it peacefully. It was one the more public displays of infighting between states and the central government before the Civil War.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
