A Great Moment in APUSH

Today in APUSH, Mr. Mustard was going over the Chapter 10 powerpoint. We got onto the slide of the South Carolina Nullification Crisis. He had been calling random people to summarize the previous slide. I was talking with someone during that slide and when we moved onto the next slide, Mustard called on me to summarize the previous slide. Luckily for me, I was ready and knew my information about the SC Nullification Crisis. So I explained to him about it, with added information. I said "South Carolina didn't like the tariffs placed on the South and passed an ordinance that ruled the tariffs void and no good. They used the principals of what Madison and Jefferson used during the VA and KT resolutions of 1798. Then, Andrew Jackson used his authority to put down the threat by passing a Force Bill, which authorized power for him to use military force. Jackson played it both sides as he also lowered the tariffs." That response shocked Mr. Mustard. He said, "Wow! You should teach the class tomorrow!." The class gave me an applause and I felt pretty happy. I had been called on the spot to answer a question and came through in a big way with an outstanding response!
