Ours was always a nation marked by tension between the North and the South - a tension that existed long before Confederate forces in Charleston fired on Fort Sumter. The fact of the historical matter is that the Civil War began on July 4, 1776 - the day we promulgated the Declaration of Independence.

Senator John C. Calhoun - Vice-President to both John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson and a fiery defender of both slavery and Southern independence - summed up the unfortunate future of the United States at a formal White House dinner held in honor of Ambassador Calderon of Spain in 1841.

  • These guys had the best motherfucking FACIAL HAIR IN THE WORLD.

  • i wonder what those black guys in the background think of what he talking about

  • @statesrights01 Did you kind of miss the comment, revealing all of his (and the slaveholding south's) hypocrisy, that in abolishing slavery, the slaveholders would then become slaves themselves? So, it's OK for somelse to be a slave but not himself or any of his friends.

  • @ehstandyourgroundac haha....guess what. i'm replying. you make some valid points, but repeatedly instructing someone to not post so you can get the final word in is just....just, tyranical. like one part of a country trying to dictate to another part of the country how to run its affairs...or like being the kind of person who farts and then leaves the room. so he like women in politics. anyone else? not so much. moral by the antiquated standards of his society, but not of a truly moral man.

  • @tefisher84 no, van buren was petrified of calhoun and what he represented. van buren was a spineless president, he would never have whooped anyone's ass. calhoun could probably stare him down if he even though about trying anything. calhoun was indeed a hideously narrow-minded, bigoted, and self-serving politician, but he knew how the game was played better than most in his day....

  • Kind of like watching the wicked witch wandering in to curse everybody at the start of Sleeping Beauty.

  • @LongHairedLoser Amistad (1997)

  • VanBuren looks like he's going to climb over that table to whoop Calhoun's ass. No wonder Jackson regretted not hanging him.

  • What is this clip from?

  • This looks like a good movie!! :) what is the name? (love Calhoun's accent :P)
