hey i was wondering if anyone has tried doing an earlier american civil war, but this one based off the nullification crisis of 1832. my area of thinking is this: during the height of the crisis, we could have jackson having an accident that would disable him and render him unfit to continue to be president(say, like falling from a horse and knocking his head on the ground which causes him to got into a coma or the like). This would in turn leave the country without a strong leader in face of calhoun's threat to sececced from the union.

So my whole idea is the fact that without jackson's leadership, the crisis gets out of hand and calhoun takes south carolina out of the union, thus provoking an earlier civil war. ideas? comments?
