Which senator from Kentucky proposed the compromise that ended the nullification effort to the Tariff of 1828

Answer 1

The senator from Kentucky who proposed the compromise that ended the nullification crisis related to the Tariff of 1828 was Henry Clay. In 1833, he introduced a compromise tariff that gradually lowered the duties imposed by the Tariff of 1828, which had led to significant discontent in Southern states, particularly South Carolina. This compromise helped to defuse the situation and avoid a potential conflict over the issue of states' rights and federal authority.
