Abstract:

This article examines the changes to American politics and in American society marked by John C. Calhoun's Presidential campaign. As the first of the post American Revolution candidates, he represented a new generation of leaders whose primary concern was no longer relations with England, but westward expansion. A central focus of the article is the development of sectionalism and the crystalizing of political thought on slavery and on the basic domestic economy of the East, South, and West.
