Memoirs Of A Nullifier: Written By Himself is a book written by Algernon Sidney Johnston in 1832. The book is a first-person account of the author's experiences as a nullifier during the Nullification Crisis of 1832. The Nullification Crisis was a political conflict between the federal government and the state of South Carolina over the issue of tariffs. The state of South Carolina believed that the federal government had overstepped its authority by imposing tariffs on imported goods, and they threatened to secede from the Union if the tariffs were not repealed. Algernon Sidney Johnston was a prominent nullifier and a member of the South Carolina legislature during the crisis. In his memoirs, he provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the crisis, including the debates over the tariffs in Congress and the actions of the South Carolina legislature. He also describes the tense atmosphere in South Carolina during the crisis, as well as the efforts of President Andrew Jackson to resolve the conflict peacefully. The book provides a unique perspective on the Nullification Crisis, as it is written by someone who was intimately involved in the events of the time. It also sheds light on the political and social climate of the early 19th century, particularly in the southern United States. Overall, Memoirs Of A Nullifier: Written By Himself is an important historical document that offers valuable insights into one of the most significant political crises in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
