One thing I've been wondering is that if S. Carolina believed in the right of nullification, and used it in regards to tariffs. Then why would they have such a hard time with Northern states using that same right in regards to the Fugitive Slave Law. Did they think that Northern states didn't have that right or that it couldn't be applied to the FSl or was it that they just didn't want to have their rights slavery interfered with in any way no matter whether it was right or not?
