I don't know about that. In 1832, President Andy Jackson made it very clear that he would be glad to personally lead the US Army into South Carolina and hang anyone who thought they could nullify US law or unilaterally secede.

Jackson was also convicted and fined in Louisiana for his contempt of the law. He also was responsible for many Native American deaths for his promotion of the "Trail of Tears" death march. How fitting that you display the same tyranny as Walt.

Half-truths suit the neo-rebs best.

Jackson was fined for suspending the writ. Congress refunded that money to him with interest.

As for the Trail of Tears, Georgia slave holders wanted the Cherokee removed too.

Of course it always comes down to personal insults for the neo-rebs. The facts don't suit theme very well.

Wonder how Jackson's image wound up on a confederate postage stamp?

Walt
