It never would have reached that point with Jackson or Polk. The South likely would not have tried it, and if they did, it would have been 10 times worse than Atlanta. You didn’t mess with Jackson.

It absolutely would have gotten to that point and the conflict would have lasted far far longer than Jackson. That's something he ought to have understood given how good he was at carrying grudges.

What WOULD have happened, would have been a SOUTHERN CIVIL WAR. MANY Southernen heros fought for the Union.
