The position of John. C. Calhoun in his time

John. C. Calhoun was a learned fellow of the United States, he was one of the leaders in the government. He had several stands that affected the running of the government and even the position of its people. He was a man who really encouraged people not to lose hope in any way, he always saw the positive effects of fighting for what was good and valuable for the country. He encouraged his people to match forward and meet their enemies with fortitude of upholding their place at every risk. This is great confidence that should also be embraced today to ensure that individuals and government setups makes significant steps towards their destinies and visions. There was a great need for an aggressive spirit to binge so as to ensure significant changes towards their goals.

            Calhoun’s thought was that the weak, the young and the thoughtless if given a chance to be free he predicted that they would extend upwards gradually to a point they would be strong enough to obtain political control (Patrick, John , Pious, $ Ritchie 122). For this reason he urged his people to be courageous and move on to what they purposed to achieve. He always worked towards defending slavery, he developed a two-point defense. One was political which catered for the rights of the minority. The other one was bring up an argument that slavery was an institution that benefited all who involved in it. His argument was that both the slave and the master of those slaves who were the nation itself benefited from allowing slavery into the country (Patrick, John, Pious, $ Ritchie 568). Currently slavery is not applicable because there is much advancement causing this to be extinct.

            He recognized intellectual and political leaders to the last breathe of his life. He was a man who so much believed that intelligent people are of great help to all around to a nation and its people in relation to its goals. He was so much committed to developing the intelligence of people to the fullest (Patrick, John, Pious, $ Ritchie 188). This would assign him a unique role in the history of America in diverse aspects. Intelligence is key to date as it is what governs all activities in our century. He set a pace to which people still adhere to ensure positive run of their dealings. His position is still significant to date in a way but not as perfect because people could not take his all.
