During Andrew Jackson's presidency, there were several things that changed in America Graham crackers were invented in 1829 after a minister needed something high in fiber for his vegetarian diet. Another invention that occured was i n 1831- the Flanged T rail was an all-iron railway that had a flat bottom and didn't require chairs to hold the rails upright. The first 500 railways were installed in Philadelphia. This was invented by an American named Robert L. Stevens. The electric doorbell was created in 1831 to let someone know that a visitor was at their door. This was invented by Joseph Henry. In 1833, a lock-stitch sewing machine was made anonymously (the modern one we use today). The making of railroads helped transportation grow because it allowed people to get from one place to another quicker without having to walk or ride a horse. The making of sewing machines helped the production of clothing grow, too, because people could make their own clothes easier and quicker without having to knit or crochet. To continue, The Nullification Proclamation occured on December 10, 1832. This was when Jackson gave out a proclamation to those who lived in South Carolina because they wanted to nullify (void) a law. South Carolina stated that the tax acts of 1828 and 1832 “are unauthorized by the constitution of the United States, and violate the true meaning and intent thereof and are null, void, and no law, nor binding upon this State.” The people of South Carolina felt that the tax (tariff) acts of 1828 and 1832 "favored Northern-manufacturing interests at the expense of Southern farmers." After Jackson gave out the proclamation, Congress passed the Force Act that allowed the use of the military force against any state that resisted the tariff acts. In 1833, Henry Clay helped create a compromise bill with the vice president at the time that gradually lowered taxes over the next decade. The Compromise Tariff of 1833 was eventually accepted by South Carolina and ended the Nullification crisis. The War on the National Bank was when Jackson gave a strong veto to the National Bank because it was run mainly by British aristocrats. Also, he believed that the bank was being used to control the United States' economy by changing prices and changing the value of paper money. After hearing what he had to say in his written veto, he got most of the votes of the people in the election of 1832 and won.
