O please give me a break...
Jackson won only by threatening to send in the military to arrest and hang every legislator who had voted for it. bs/
Washington (Jackson) saw it a different way when confronted with...this.
“In Charleston Governor Robert Y. Hayne ... tried to form an army which could hope to challenge the forces of ‘Old Hickory.’ Hayne recruited a brigade of mounted minutemen, 2,000 strong, which could swoop down on Charleston the moment fighting broke out, and a volunteer army of 25,000 men which could march on foot to save the beleaguered city. In the North Governor Hayne’s agents bought over $100,000 worth of arms; in Charleston Hamilton readied his volunteers for an assault on the federal forts.”
this and this only brought them to the table and an agreement..for all to stand down.
Jackson knew his brother and sister South Carolinians would fight him to the last drop of blood from the Scot-Irishman.

“In the proclamation that follows, Jackson declared nullification illegal and became the first President to declare the Union indissoluble. He then asked Congress to empower him to use force to execute federal law; Congress promptly enacted a Force Act. Privately, Jackson threatened to “hang every leader...of that infatuated people, sir, by martial law, irrespective of his name, or political or social position.” He also dispatched a fleet of eight ships and a shipment of 5000 muskets to a federal installation in Charleston harbor.”
