Henry Clay was able to resolve the conflict over the Tariff of 1828 through a compromise known as the Tariff of 1833. This compromise, also called the Compromise Tariff, gradually reduced the rates of the previous tariff over a period of 10 years to a level that was more acceptable to the southern states. The aim was to prevent any southern states from attempting to nullify or reject the tariff. The Tariff of 1833 effectively defused the tensions caused by the high tariff rates and helped to bring about a temporary resolution to the conflict.
