Constitutionally and historically inaccurate, and otherwise just flat-ass wrong.
Actually no, those are Jackson's own words on secession, quoted exactly in context.
What's interesting about the votes on the Force Act of 1832 was that Virginia was split, North Carolina through Mississippi voted as a block against it, but IIRC Louisiana and Missouri voted FOR it. Again IIRC the North was pretty much unanimously for it.
A pity no one thought to run the Force Act of 1832 by the Supreme Court, but it included a clause that it would expire if not extended by Congress. No one seems to be sure if it was ever extended or not, in any event, with the passing of the crisis it seems to have become a non-issue.
What you SHOULD take me to task on is that this crisis was over tariffs, not slavery.

The rationale doesn't matter; Constitutionality does.
That never sinks in to an "ends justify the means" apparatchik like yourself.
Counter Jackson's tyrannical diatribe with Jefferson's first Inaugural Address.
