- This set of 4 lectures explores the lives and times of three of the most important figures in US political history who never became president: Henry Clay of Kentucky, John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts. Based in Congress (and other key public roles), they both shaped and reflected the dynamically changing politics and society of the first half of 19th century America. Key events such as the War of 1812, the Missouri Compromise, the Nullification Crisis, the Mexican-American War and every presidential election from 1820 to 1848 felt their influence.
