Calhoun Amid Civil Conflict Stirring Southern Resolve
A reverent portrait of John C. Calhoun highlights his calm, reflective leadership, resistance to populist pressures, and readiness to defend southern rights. The piece recalls his late return to Washington, his frail health, and a Senate scene where his resolve to amend the Constitution to shield the South against Northern aggression is set against fears of disunion and national upheaval.
