“I’ll repeat: you’re just making cr*p up, FRiend, if you fantasize the Nullification issue of 1828 had something to do with secession beginning in November 1860.
It didn’t.”

I’ll stick with what President Jackson and Calhoun - actual contemporaries, said about this issue back then.

Yes, they were connected. Yes, Jackson shut it down for the same reason Calhoun was trying to shut down the tariff.

I realize that it’s hard to let go the lies of a northern public education.

Do you not comprehend the fact that 1820s era nullification issues were not even the same generation of men as 1860s secessionists?

By 1860 President Jackson, Senator Calhoun and all those people were long dead, and secessionists were not seceding because of a Bank of the United States.

They seceded in 1860 to protect their "peculiar institution" of slavery against threats represented by the first "Black Republican" President-elect, Abraham Lincoln.
