John C. Calhoun

Metadata

Name	Calhoun, John C.
Born	1782
Birthplace	Abbeville, South Carolina
Notes	John Caldwell Calhoun (March 18, 1782 – March 31, 1850) was an American politician and political theorist[2] from South Carolina who held many important positions including being the seventh vice president of the United States from 1825 to 1832, while adamantly defending slavery and protecting the interests of the white South. He began his political career as a nationalist, modernizer, and proponent of a strong national government and protective tariffs. In the late 1820s, his views changed radically, and he became a leading proponent of states' rights, limited government, nullification, and opposition to high tariffs. He saw Northern acceptance of those policies as a condition of the South remaining in the Union. His beliefs and warnings heavily influenced the South's secession from the Union in 1860–1861.
Occupation	Vice President of the United States Senator from South Carolina
Deceased	1850
Deceased where	Washington, District of Columbia
