To what extent did the theory of nullification and the nullification crisis contribute to
the origins of the United States Civil War?
HISTORIOGRAPHY
Sean Wilentz
Argues that even when Lincoln took over as President the way nullification was handled and the way it contributed to the Civil War was carried under Jackson was always considered and used in decision making
The significance of Lincoln’s convergence with certain anti-slavery elements of Jacksonian Democracy, and then with certain of Jackson’s political precedents, should not be exaggerated. Yet neither should the convergence be ignored,” Wilentz concluded, also noting that “some of the Jacksonian spirit resided inside the Lincoln White House.”

THESIS
Nullification played an integral role in the origins of the Civil War. However, external factors eg. the slavery/abolitionist debate also played an equally important role in the causation of the Civil War.
