DiogenesLamp: "Nullification crises.
Look it up.
Then figure out a way to blame it on slavery instead of a greedy northern controlled congress."

The 1830s Nullification Crisis had nothing to do with alleged "northern controlled congress", since Northeastern states voted against the 1828 "Tariff of Abominations" while Southern-Western states voted for it.

The 1830s Nullification Crisis had nothing to do with regionalism and everything to do with pro-American vs. anti-American.

It was about Democrats wanting to "Keep America dependent on British imports" vs. Make America Great (1st time) patriots and National Republicans
It was about Democrats who hated America and want it dissolved vs. patriots who wanted to Put Americans First.
It was about Western producers who wanted to protect American manufacturing vs. globalist Democrats who just wanted cheap foreign imports to pay for their exports of slave-grown cotton.
The 1828 Tariff of Abominations was supported by:
- Pres. Andrew Jackson -- patriot slaveholder from Tennessee
- Sen. Henry Clay -- Whig slaveholder from Kentucky
- Sen. John C. Calhoun -- Democrat slaveholder from South Carolina, briefly before flipping sides
- Pres. John Q. Adams -- from Massachusetts
The 1828 Tariff of Abominations was opposed by:
- Rep. John Davis -- from Massachusetts, future senator and state governor
- Rep. Edward Everett -- from Massachusetts, future state governor
- Rep. Samuel Eddy -- Rhode Island
- Sen. John C. Calhoun -- Democrat slaveholder from South Carolina, after flipping sides
- Sen. Robert Y. Hayne -- Democrat slaveholder from South Carolina
- Gov. Governor James Hamilton Jr. -- Democrat slaveholder from South Carolina

When push came to shove in 1830 and South Carolina threatened secession, Pres. Jackson (slaveholder from Tennessee) famously threatened:

"Please give my compliments to my friends in your State and say to them, that if a single drop of blood shall be shed there in opposition to the laws of the United States, I will hang the first man I can lay my hand on engaged in such treasonable conduct, upon the first tree I can reach."

Bottom line: The 1830s Nullification Crisis had nothing to do with North vs. South and everything to do with pro-American patriots vs. anti-American Democrats.
