Utterly laughable. No it was not bigger and the Northern government interfered in industry a lot itself.
The South was a Center of the Populist Parry. Most Southern Senators supported the Facist New Deal.
I would call the New Deal much more socialist than fascist. Southern Senators were going to support the Democrat party because they were Democrats. Also under FDR, the federal government put more money into the South than it took out of the South for the first time ever.
Jackson was a founder of what is considered modern Conservatism. The orginal Maga. The Union, Small Goverment, and Anti- Hamiltonianism and Monopoly.
Jackson was the founder of the Democrat party....which was the party of limited government, balanced budgets and decentralized power in the 19th century.
It was MUCH bigger, and The Confederate Constitution had a clause that a State could not Secede. Texas would have broken from the Confederacy for sure. Thier is no way that State would have stayed. And the South itself had many Unionists. The Southern Unionists were the Calverymen who burned Atlanta. These men where Jacksonians, they agreed with Jackson, “ Our Federal Union, it must be preserved.”
Jackson is Trump’s Political hero and also mine.
