Jackson owned slaves and wanted Texas bad, but was like โ€œreally? You had to fight Mexico over that? Iโ€™m trying to prevent a civil war you dipshits.โ€

Yeah, the Nullification Crisis is fun. He was going to crush South Carolina. Too damn bad he didnโ€™t hang Calhoun like he wanted to or shoot Clay.

Clay wasnโ€™t that bad, maybe if heโ€™d pummeled SC and hung Calhoun the southern states would have been too afraid to test Lincoln. Too bad all the guys Jackson recommended to replace him were total wet blankets.
