He had more respect for states' right than Lincoln
Explanation:
Andrew Jackson was keen on the Jeffersonian tradition and thus respected states' rights to a greater extent than Lincoln. He accepted the 1833 compromise put forward by Clay regarding the tariffs.
Lincoln started the Civil War in Fort Sumter(by provoking the South to fire first) on the issue of tariffs which he dramatically increased.
