How do you think America might be different if South Carolina Exposition and Protest published during the Nullification Crisis had not occurred?

Question

There would not have been a Civil War. States would not be challenging the authority of the Federal Government. States would not have the right under law to force its will on Congress. There would have been no check against the federal government or national government on becoming too powerful.

Answer 1

I disagree.

States' rights and economic hardships in the South precipitated the Civil War. Federal versus states had been an issue since before the Revolution and still plays a part in our politics today.
