Are you seriously arguing that Andrew “old hickory” Jackson would not have made good on his proclamation to suppress any secession? Because if you are your more delusional than i thought.
Heres what Jackson said when a south carolina visitor to the white house during the nullification crisis asked what message he should take back to the people of the state;
“Yes I have; please give my compliments to my friends in your State and say to them, that if a single drop of blood shall be shed there in opposition to the laws of the United States, I will hang the first man I can lay my hand on engaged in such treasonable conduct, upon the first tree I can reach.” Andrew Jackson
He also sent this to his Secretary of War;
“If I can judge from the signs of the times Nullification, and secession, or in the language of truth, disunion, is gaining strength, we must be prepared to act with promptness, and crush the monster in its cradle before it matures to manhood.”
Andrew Jackson to Secretary of War Lewis Cass 1832
If South Carolina had seceded I have no doubt Andrew Jackson would have used the militia act and probably lead the army himself down to South Carolina and made Sherman’s March to the sea look like a picnic. And unlike Lincoln he would have hung all the rebels as traitors.
I am pretty certain you are delusional. You don't understand the simple concept of “in toto” as applied to a document that contains a built-in Amendment process.
Yes, Andrew Jackson compromised. That is History.

That is meaningless. It is a historical fact that Jackson compromised.

You are one of the most blood-thirsty people I have encountered in my life, and I am an old man. You seem to enjoy the fact that Sherman was a mass-murderer and a war criminal, who literally relished in the fact that women, children, old men, and even slaves would starve or freeze to death after his plunderous rampage. He was a psychopath, as are all who honor him and/or cherish his memory.
