The Confederacy Socialized the Cotton and Salt Industries. Davis's draft was more draconian than Lincoln's. Lincoln was a bumbler, who was bailed out by the TRUE hero of the war, General Sherman
The War would have last several month's if Jackson was President, then the ringleaders would have been hung for treason all over the South. For as Jackson told Calhoun, " if you Secede from my Nation, I shall Secede your head from your sholders."

Then we would have had a very nasty guerilla war that would have lasted decades if not longer. The South is too big and has too much mountainous and swampy terrain and too many large forests to put down an insurgency that enjoys much public support. The British weren't able to put down an insurgency in Ireland that lasted for centuries off and on.

” if you Secede from my Nation, I shall Secede your head from your sholders.”

A sentiment heartily endorsed by King George III, as he urged Parliament and his loyal subjects to wage war on the rebels and traitors (his words) of 1776.

The irony of Jackson and Lincoln’s reasoning was not lost on the Brits.
