jackson was anti-secession over taxation and Calhoun

nobody ever tried to take his property with recompense

and the Brits had just emancipated with recompense so I bet that figured in his mind

I’m ambivalent on Jackson..I admire his mettle and he is a homeboy but he sure expanded Federal power

not good. there

Seriously? I think that this proclamation is pretty unequivocal about secession. Come on. Jackson was an executive’s executive. I think he would not have condoned secession or revolt under his watch under any circumstances. He didn’t put up with much from the other branches of the federal government let alone outside of it(think defiance of SCOTUS Judge Marshall).

I grew up in Tennessee. He is our homeboy. :)
