As you probably know, there was a huge debate over states' rights in the 1830's (in America) because of the Tariff of Abominations. It got so bad that South Carolina swore that it was going to secede, if others seceded with it. However, none did. What if, let's say Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee/Mississippi, and Alabama leave and form a country like the Republic of Dixie. What would President Jackson have done? Ignorance? Civil War?
