The political turmoil brought on by the Nullification Crisis inspired John C. Calhoun to become an early leader of the Whig Party
Explanation:
John Caldwell Calhoun was a politician who is known to also be a theorist in politics. An American statesman from South Carolina who was instrumental and active in the running of the government in the 1820s
As a leading figure and among the proponents who champion the Nullification rights, Calhoun statesman activities in putting the government to check also include the states' rights and the opposition to the high tariff.
Calhoun being a leader at early stage with the Whig Party was as a result of his resolve in seeing to light the Nullification act against the federal tariff hike being rejected by the South Carolina and because his views tally with the Whig Party, He became an early leader even though he did not participate fully with them.
I believe the answer is A but i could be wrong, during the Civil war it made it easier for them to speak and talk to each other during that time sending goods and messages across the united states.
