All other subjects have given way to it and appear to be almost forgotten.” James Monroe (1758–1831) (Letter to Jefferson, 1820) “Our fate as a people is bound up in the question of preserving slavery. If we yield, we will be extirpated; but if we successfully resist we will be the greatest and most flourishing people of modern time. It is the best substratum of population in the world; and one on which great and flourishing commonwealths may be most easily and safely reared.” John C. Calhoun of South Carolina (1782–1850) (Speech, 1838) “When I came to the Presidency the principle of internal improvement was swelling the tide of public prosperity.…The great object of my life therefore as applied to the administration of the government of the United States has failed. The American Union as a moral person in the family of nations is to live from hand to mouth, to cast away instead of using for the improvement of its own condition, the bounties of Providence, and to raise to the summit of power a succession of Presidents the consummation of whose glory will be to growl and snarl with impotent fury against a money broker’s shop, to rivet into perpetuity the clanking chain of the slave, and to waste in boundless bribery to the West the invaluable inheritance of the public lands.” John Quincy Adams (1767–1848) (Letter, 1837) Development of the American Two Party System Review
