Actually we didn't fight a war over nullification because the Southerners who wanted out couldn't get people hot and bothered over nullifying the law any more then than they do now. What we had the War over was them getting butthurt and deciding to settle it by brute force. Should have thought of that before Ulysses S. Grant gave them the most one-sided set of asskickings in the history of US warfare. Them that sow the wind reap the whirlwind. The pity is so many of their latter-day debased imitators missed and miss that when they decided to start a war, they had themselves to blame for losing it.
