South Carolina's nullification challenge and a controversy over the disposition of Western lands provoke a series of debates on the floor of Congress between South Carolina Senator Robert Haynes and the venerable Whig from Massachusetts Senator Daniel Webster. Jackson sides firmly with preservation of the union rather than state rights and threatens to invade South Carolina. John C, Calhoun resigns as vice president in order to fill South Carolina's Senate seat left vacant when the previous office holder died. Calhoun and Henry Clay are able to work out a compromise on tariff issues and South Carolina repeals the Nullification Act, thus avoiding Jackson's invasion threat.
