#1-12 In February, as I approached inauguration for my second term, the abolitionist movement was gaining strength. The American Anti-Slavery Society had been formed the previous December 4 in Philadelphia. Perhaps the most prominent figure in the movement was William Lloyd Garrison, the fiery editor of The Liberator. Among the last acts of my first term were signing two bills into law. Henry Clay’s compromise tariff was intended to ease the trouble between the federal government and South Carolina. The second, called the Force Act, authorized the president to enforce collection of tariffs by use of the Army and Navy if necessary. |
