"And on that you would be incorrect."

You talked of Jefferson being against the tarriffs. That has nothing to do with whether he thought the New England States should be able to secede over this. He did not believe they should be able to secede over this. These are plain facts and you choose to ignore them. Again, when presented with plain facts you ignore them. What can I do with this? You can continue to believe that Jefferson thought it was okay for the New England states to secede during his presidency if you want. It's a free country (for now).

Who ever said anything about New England? Jefferson was talking about Virginia, and he definitely said that when conditions got bad enough to justify secession - "when we must make a choice, there can be no hesitation." I don't believe I've referred to that quote in the context of any other state but Virginia.

As with your last post, it would seem that you have developed a bad habit of placing your own words into the mouth of others to subsequently attack them. Such tactics suggest either carelessness or willful dishonesty.
