America's Greatest President of the 19th Century

[Хahar 🤔]

Lincoln. Duh.

[Хahar 🤔]

Even though the United States was founded on the idea of secession?

Mmmm... hmmm... not exactly. But that's an entirely seperate issue.

Virginia, Rhode Island, and New York were admitted to the Union under the pretext that they could secede at any time.

But in the election of 1836, the electorate gave its approval of the death of secession.

How do you figure?

1832, my bad. But I'm referring to Andrew Jackson's handling of nullification. If the electorate didn't like it and wanted to preserve states' rights, they could have thrown out Jackson and replaced him with Clay.

Clay wasn't a fan of states' rights either.

But he had become that, to please the states' rights folks.
