Where did we come from and how did we get here? Understanding America’s past (failures and successes!) is crucial for shaping the future. John C. Calhoun was one of the most influential politicians during the Antebellum period, serving at different times as a U.S. representative, secretary of war, vice president, secretary of state, and senator. This single volume includes 12 of his speeches, letters, and essays, including his most widely read Disquisition on Government. Despite his controversial views on slavery, these primary source documents offer keen insight into the complexities of the time period, the nature of man and government, and the authority of the state in light of a limited federal government. There is much to learn from the great thinkers, speakers, and writers of that day! 625 pgs. pb.
