Group Activity from Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History (Print out or download SC Exposition and Protest, Excerpt from Andrew Jackson’s Nullification Proclamation, Excerpt from Daniel Webster’s Reply to Hayne, and Nullification Readings Worksheet) — For some reason, when I tried to use a direct link to the lesson plan, a pop-up window came up and asked me to create an account, but when I went through Google it didn’t.  So, if you come across the pop-up, try Googling it to get access without encountering the pop-up.
