Andrew Jackson was infuriated with the nullifiers and ready to attack, fortunately 1833, Clay stepped in and threw his influence behind a compromise bill that would reduce the tariff of 1832 by about 10% over a period of 8 years..
an armed confrontation was avoided when Congress, led by the efforts of Henry Clay, revised the tariff with a compromise bill. This permitted the South Carolinians to back down without "losing face." Although, Henry Clay although a supporter of the tariffs himself was huge enemy of Jackson and had no desire to see his old enemy win new laurels by crushing the Carolinians and returning with the scalp of Calhoun dangling from his belt. Henry Clay helped broker this compromise bill with Calhoun that slowly lowered tariffs over the next decade. The Compromise Tariff of 1833 was eventually accepted by South Carolina and ended the nullification crisis.
