They then take it a step farther in what appears to directly challenge the federal government and can easily be seen as foreshadowing its later secession in which South Carolina says as a state that (we), "Do
further Declare that we wil not submit to the application of force, on the
part of the Federal Government." This bold statement is challenged by
President Andrew Jackson, and as unlikely as it is for a state to stand up
to federal force, it is very revealing of the nature of the union. South
Carolina, it appears, is ready to fight on the issue on taxation and
withdraw from the union to form its own government as a sovereign nation.
Surely South...

Foreshadowing the looming Civil War, the nature of the Union at this point is one in which state's believe themselves the right to
withdraw and apply the federal government's decisions where it sees
fitting. Even as early as Andrew Jackson's Presidency the federal
government has to threaten and use force to implement its policies. To the
states, the union is merely a confederation, yet the federal government
believes otherwise.
