How many U.S. troops did Jefferson send to Connecticut and/or Massachusetts to “put down” the secessionist movement?

He didn't need to send troops, the people where apparently a hell of a lot smarter than the south when they started the civil war.

Okay, fine.

But why, then, did you ask your question about “other” presidents who “put down” secessionist movements?
