“He made rebellious South Carolina stand down.”

Yes, he “bravely ran away” and repealed the tariff of abominations.

As any fair-minded leader should have done.

Thats how South Carolina was made to stand down....by accepting their grievance and addressing it through repeal.

The issue of nullification being illegal was again nullified, but nobody pressed the matter at the time (perhaps they should have, and the civil war would have been avoided)

The issue of nullification was left to fester for a few more decades, and was not properly addressed Constitutionally, and even then, it was done by force, instead of by constitutional process.

We will revisit this issue someday. I hope we have the wisdom as a country to address it properly.

Why do even live here? You obviously don’t love a United United States. It is THE UNITED STATES we pledge alliance to, not a defeated confederacy, it is the UNITED STATES that we are fighting to preserve against the left’s attempts to destroy it. THE UNITED STATES must be perceived, and it will be.
