- Title
The Angel of Nullification: Imagining Disunion in an Era Before Secession.
- Authors
PARK, BENJAMIN E.
- Abstract
The article discusses a states' rights-related Nullification crisis in America's Southern States in the 1800s, and it mentions state sovereignty, debates about national interests and a state's ability to challenge U.S. federal laws, and the potential secession of several Southern States. The novel "Memoirs of a Nullifier" by Algernon Sidney Johnston is examined, along with the political climate in South Carolina in the 1800s and American cultural politics.
