The Clay Compromise Measures
In the Clay Compromise Measures, John C Calhoun discusses how slavery has become an enormous nationwide problem that has been ignored for too long. Calhoun says that he is unsure how the Union can remain intact while trying to solve the slavery issue. Half the nation firmly supports slavery while the other half is strongly against slavery. Calhoun says that one of the reasons the slavery issue was never addressed was because if it had been addressed, the equilibrium of the United States would be thrown off, disrupting the country. This equilibrium is very important in order to maintain a successful, peaceful country. However, the slavery issue can no longer be ignored, and it is essential to look past equilibrium in doing what is right for the country.
