John C. Calhoun begs to differ with you in a speech to Congress in 1850. He was there, you were not.

He was demigoguing to support his plantation owning constituents. Too bad he didn't support the common man of the south who had to do the fighting for the plantation owners to keep them in high cotton.

I'm sorry - did any of his opponents in the Congress gainsay him in that debate?
