Read John Calhoun's Speech and Summarize
He addressed that the issue of slavery was a threat of the preservation of the union. The discontent in the South was growing but they remained silent. The South felt they were oppressed by the North in government because they had a bigger population in states. He also talks about several flaws in the central government and the lack of representation of the South. Therefore, he proposes that the North sacrifices some of their power to the South to obtain a balance between the two. In the end, he states that he has fulfilled his responsibilities to the country by proposing a simple solution.
