I refer you to page 156 of 'Liberty And Humanity: Growing discontent in the American South, 1800-1860'. Siegel, Edgar J. NY: Random House Publishers, 1997.

"Indeed, the prevailing sentiment among the Missouri Frontiersman was that of paranoia and irrational fear; Alger declared in an inflammatory pamphlet that he "would not rest until he saw every Abolitionist in the country laid low by the powers of justice and freedom". Andrew Jackson, by now an ailing old man, wrote back that "the country now teeters on the brink of a CIVIL WAR... all now that can be done, all now that MUST be done is to wash the earth of our leftovers".

I believe you stand corrected.
