Publisher's Synopsis
"The Calhoun Revolution" examines the political theories and influence of John C. Calhoun, a prominent figure in 19th-century American politics. This work delves into Calhoun's advocacy for states' rights, his defense of slavery, and his role in the Nullification Crisis. The book analyzes Calhoun's arguments regarding constitutional interpretation and the balance of power between the federal government and individual states. It explores the impact of his ideas on the growing sectional tensions that ultimately led to the Civil War.
James Rood Doolittle offers a historical perspective on Calhoun's legacy and the enduring relevance of his political thought. Readers interested in American political history, the debates surrounding slavery, and the origins of the Civil War will find this a valuable resource.
