<ul><li>{{#tip-text:John Calhoun|1782-150; longtime Senator from South Carolina and Vice President under presidents John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson (first term); he started his political career as a war hawk during the War of 1812 (was Secretary of War under Monroe) and a strong nationalist who supported the National Bank and protective tariffs; however, as Vice President he became a leading proponent of states-rights, anti-tariffs, and limited federal government, including to support state nullification of federal tariff laws; he owned slaves and asserted the legitimacy of the institution of slavery as a "positive good"; Calhoun, however, was an effective congressional leader and along with Clay and Webster was one of the "Great Triumvirate" who negotiated the Compromises of 1820 and 1850, although Calhoun opposed the Compromise of 1850.}}</ul></li> | |||
