nullifier

No amount of memories, mutual love or money owed should obscure the clarity of dire results: Twenty straight losses are the ultimate nullifier.

Volume X covers 1832, the year Jackson defeated Henry Clay for a second term, pursued removal of the Southeastern Indians, vetoed the Bank of the United States and faced down the South Carolina nullifiers.

At a Jefferson Day dinner in April 1830, in Washington, then-President Andrew Jackson famously took on the “nullifiers” of South Carolina, who failed to honor the cause of national unity.

If the nullifiers or believers in extreme States' rights supposed Jackson to be on their side, they were quickly undeceived.

In South Carolina, in the days of nullification, the nullifiers and Union men were very bitter in their hostility against each other.
