They could have fought against the Government, instead they decided to tear the Union apart. Lincoln was a softy. Jackson would have hung the traitors in 3 months.
They DID fight against the government.
I agree with you. Jackson was almost certainly more of a hard-ass than Lincoln. Whether or not that is a good thing is debatable.
Compared to Jackson, Lincoln in some ways was blest to be both right and president.
Jackson was the founder of the modern Democratic party, and a better man than Biden, and likely JFK.
Roughly comparable to LBJ.
I’ll stick with Truman.
How many “traitors” were tried for treason after the civil war? Hint: this answer is the same as your IQ.
