This is Volume 2, Part 2 of the correspondence of John C. Calhoun, a prominent American statesman of the 19th century. These letters offer invaluable insights into the political, social, and economic issues of the era, particularly regarding states' rights, nullification, and slavery. Calhoun's influential role as a senator, vice president, and secretary of state positioned him at the center of the key debates shaping the nation's trajectory. His writings reveal the complexities and tensions that ultimately led to the Civil War. For historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in understanding the foundations of American political thought and the critical period leading up to the Civil War, this collection provides essential primary source material.
