Henry Clay Henry Clay (1777-1852), a slave holder (Sterling 190), cannot be counted among the abolitionists; his efforts, rather, involved the formation of compromises intended, at least in part, to satisfy both the North and the South. The abolitionists, however, were thoroughly dissatisfied. Clay was born in Virginia, practiced law in Kentucky, was a U.S. senator from 1806-07 and 1810-11, a member of the House of Representatives from 1811-25, and speaker of the House during most of the same period. His support of the Missouri Compromise in 1820 earned him the name of Great Pacificator . From 1825-1829 he was Secretary of State and again served in the senate from 1831-42 and 1849-52. In 1831 and 1844 he was the Whig candidate for the presidency but was defeated. He is best known for his Compromise of 1850, by which he hoped to prevent civil war forever ( Webster's New Biographical Dictionary 215). His talent for compromise was his contribution to emancipation, if it can be called such (Merrill III 182). When William Lloyd Garrison was imprisoned, Clay would have paid the fine for his release, but Garrison later said Clay's willingness to do so was no reason for him (Garrison) to abstain from rebuking his later attempts to destroy the abolitionist movement (Merrill V 174).

Extractions: The Civil War More Americans died during the Civil War from 1861-1865 than in any other war, ever. While these dates may define the period of war action, in fact the Civil War was the result of a long, history of complex issues of such things as Constitutional interpretation, economics, and the ethics of slavery. Below are brief sketches of only a few of the memorable names from that era of U.S. history. Also online at the Smithsonian is a collection of Civil War photographs by Mathew Brady. George Peter Alexander Healy (1813-1894) Henry Clay was one of the most influential congressmen of the early 1800s, with a political career that spanned nearly fifty years. Born in the midst of the American Revolution, he devoted his professional energy to the preservation of the union of the states in the stormy years preceding the Civil War. To that end, he crafted several key compromises between the North and the South, for which he became known as "The Great Pacificator." But even his legendary statesmanship could not keep war from erupting nine years after his death. Differing interpretations of the Constitution were at the heart of the Civil War. Clay and other supporters of the Union insisted that states were subject to federal authority, while others, most notably South Carolina's

Extractions: Source: Clay County, Missouri Government Clay, Henry (1777-1852), American statesman, who was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams and an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency in 1824, 1832, and 1844. He was one of the most popular and influential political leaders in American history. His genius in the art of compromise three times resolved bitter political conflicts that threatened to tear the nation apart, winning him the title The Great Pacificator. Clay was born on April 12, 1777, in Hanover County, Virginia, to a middle-class family. After studying for the bar with the eminent George Wythe, Clay, at the age of 20, moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where he developed a thriving practice. He was blessed with a quick mind, a flair for oratory, and an ability to charm both sexes with his easy, attractive manner. That he loved to drink and gamble was no drawback in an age that admired both vices. Clay, ambitious for worldly success, married into a wealthy and socially prominent family and soon gained entry into Kentucky's most influential circles. While still in his 20s, he was elected to the state legislature, in which he served for six years, until 1809.
