Neo-Confederates who complain about President lincoln ignore the fact that President Jackson, himself a southerner, threatened to hang anyone who tried to block the exercise of federal law in the South.
And he would have too!

Had Jackson been president during the Civil War I would bet every penny I have or will have that Davis and others would have been hung.

"By the principles of the American revolution, arbitrary power may and ought to be resisted even by arms if necessary-- The time may come when it shall be the duty of a State, in order to preserve itself from the oppression of the general government, to have recourse to the sword." - Luther Martin, 1788
