American - Statesman March 18, 1782 - March 31, 1850

With the author

Our government is deeply disordered; its credit is impaired; its debt increasing; its expenditures extravagant and wasteful; its disbursements without efficient accountability; and its taxes (for duties are but taxes) enormous, unequal, and oppressive to the great producing classes of the country.

John C. Calhoun

Protection and patriotism are reciprocal. This is the way which has led nations to greatness.

John C. Calhoun

War may be made by one party, but it requires two to make peace.

John C. Calhoun

I am, on principle, opposed to war and in favor of peace because I regard peace as a positive good and war as a positive evil.

John C. Calhoun

There is no direct and immediate connection between the individual citizens of a state and the general government. The relation between them is through the state. The Union is a union of states as communities and not a union of individuals.

John C. Calhoun

What we want, above all things on earth in our public men, is independence. It is one great defect in the character of the public men of America that there is that real want of independence; and, in this respect, a most marked contrast exists between public men in this country and in Great Britain.

John C. Calhoun

I am a planter - a cotton planter. I am a Southern man and a slaveholder - a kind and a merciful one, I trust - and none the worse for being a slaveholder.

John C. Calhoun

I hold that there is a mysterious connection between the fate of this country and that of Mexico; so much so that her independence and capability of sustaining herself are almost as essential to our prosperity and the maintenance of our institutions as they are to hers.
