Yet, it was a man of the South, Jackson, a Small Government Conservatice, who would have crushed treason in it’s cradle.

Yet, it was a man of the South, Jackson, a Small Government Conservatice, who would have crushed treason in it’s cradle. I believe it was Jackson who said:

"John Calhoun, if you secede from my nation, I will secede your head from the rest of your body."

And it wasn't treason. The nation was founded on the principle of self determination, and every state had a right to leave.

And while we are at it, this next quote from Jackson correctly identifies the cause of the Civil War.

“It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government to their own selfish purposes.”
