John Caldwell Calhoun, 1782-1850 John C. Calhoun is best remembered as an American statesman and political philosopher. From 1811 until his death, Calhoun served in the federal government as congressman, secretary of war, vice president, senator, secretary of state, and again as senator. Born on 18 March 1782 in the Abbeville district of South Carolina, Calhoun was largely self-educated before entering Yale as a junior in 1801. After graduating with honors in 1804, he attended law school in Litchfield, Connecticut, and was admitted to the South Carolina bar in 1807. His law practice led to service in the South Carolina legislature from 1809 to 1811. There, he helped establish a balance of power between the planters from the tidewater region and piedmont farmers. Calhoun entered the U.S. Congress in 1811. He was among those young nationalists known as the War Hawks urging war with Great Britain. His proposals for strengthening the armed forces and financing the war led to Calhoun's appointment as secretary of war in James Monroe's cabinet. In 1824, Calhoun was elected vice president under John Quincy Adams. By 1828, he had aligned himself with Andrew Jackson and was again elected to the vice presidency when Jackson won the presidency. Unfortunately, Jackson and Calhoun had become bitter enemies by 1832 and, Calhoun resigned as vice president to reenter the Senate.

Search the Dictionary Notes for Contributors Information Form Contributors Universalist Register Obituaries ... Notable American Unitarians John C. Calhoun John Caldwell Calhoun (1782-1850) was a United States representative, senator, secretary of war, secretary of state, and vice president. A political sparring partner to John Quincy Adams , Andrew Jackson, Daniel Webster, and Henry Clay, Calhoun is best remembered for the rallying cries of "states' rights" and "nullification," both of which he invoked to support his steadfast opposition to tariffs on manufactures and his defense of slavery. John C. Calhoun was born in Abbeville, on the frontier of South Carolina, the fourth child, third son of Scots-Irish immigrant Patrick Calhoun and his second wife Martha Caldwell. Patrick was a landowner, a farmer, a legislator, an anti-Federalist political activist, and a slave owner. At a very early age John heard his father's fulminations against ratifying the Constitution. Education was hard to come by in the backwoods of South Carolina. John intermittently attended a school run by his brother-in-law, Moses Waddel, read voraciously, and acquired a taste for politics and history. The family recognized his academic gifts and, with his reluctant consent, decided to prepare him for a profession. After two years at Waddel's school, in the fall of 1802 Calhoun entered Yale, where he excelled as a student. Calhoun was raised a Calvinist, and remained a philosophical Calvinist in his firm work ethic, his resistance to such simple pleasures as dancing, and his bleak view of human nature. He was nevertheless strongly attracted to the philosophical and rational orientation of the emerging liberal tradition. Calvinist Timothy Dwight, the President of Yale, could not persuade Calhoun even to profess a faith in Christianity. It was at Yale that Calhoun first encountered Unitarian ideas, years before the formal split between Unitarian and Calvinist Congregationalists.

A Disquisition on Government (1849) by John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) DG.1 In order to have a clear and just conception of the nature and object of government, it is indispensable to understand correctly what that constitution or law of our nature is, in which government originates; or, to express it more fully and accurately – that law, without which government would not, and with which, it must necessarily exist. Without this, it is as impossible to lay any solid foundation for the science of government, as it would be to lay one for that of astronomy, without a like understanding of that constitution or law of the material world, according to which the several bodies composing the solar system mutually act on each other, and by which they are kept in their respective spheres. The first question, accordingly, to be considered is – What is that constitution or law of our nature, without which government would not exist, and with which its existence is necessary? DG.2 In considering this, I assume, as an incontestable fact, that man is so constituted as to be a social being. His inclinations and wants, physical and moral, irresistibly impel him to associate with his kind; and he has, accordingly, never been found, in any age or country, in any state other than the social. In no other, indeed, could he exist; and in no other – were it possible for him to exist – could he attain to a full development of his moral and intellectual faculties, or raise himself, in the scale of being, much above the level of the brute creation.
