Andrew Jackson Assassinated

Andrew Jackson Assassinated is a timeline where the assassination attempt on 7th President Andrew Jackson by Richard Laurence is successful.

Points of Divergence:

John C. Calhoun is appointed the 8th president of the United States, and plunges the nation into Civil War much sooner than anyone had expected. The Confederacy has the backing of the former U.S. government, though, and the ill-funded Union is soon defeated.
