John C. Calhoun

This look at the life and career of the statesman and orator describes Calhoun's years at Yale Law School, his role as a Congressman, his support of war with Great Britain in 1812, and more. He was South Carolina's greatest political figure - Senator, Secretary of War, Secretary of State, and Vice President. His distinguished career began in the early days of Madison's presidency and concluded during the Taylor-Fillmore administration, a span of nearly four decades. As Secretary of War under Monroe, he had an outstanding tenure during which he reformed the army's purchasing policies, developed stronger defense outposts in the west, and crafted an almost enlightened Indian policy. - Publisher.

  • "This 1882 volume in the American Statesmen series was the first scholarly biography of Calhoun, the cast-iron man of South Carolina, whose fiery oratory hastened the South toward secession. Holst's presentation of Calhoun is colored by his own profound antipathy for slavery an institution Calhoun famously championed as a positive good."@en
