The spring of 1850 is an ominous perpetrator. Notwithstanding the crisis our country faced during those trying years leading to the so-called compromise of 1850, March 31st marks the death of one of our most favorable and forbearing men in our history, John C. Calhoun. Calhoun had always been a man of great vigor and zeal, uncompromising in his approach to government and politics. Such admirable characteristics led to great achievements during his political career. His stance on nullification, his Disquisition on Government (a great and significant undertaking of the role of government and its constitutions), and his love for the South and its sheltered defense of overarching federal structures are all examples of the tremendous exploits the man championed as his cause for political existence. Such a man can never be forgotten. It is incumbent upon not only my own generation, but for those which will come, to bear out his name and impress his legacy in our own history, here, in this time and of the times to come.
