约翰·C·卡尔洪(John C. Calhoun)在他的有影响力的生涯中翻转了美国政治的光谱. 从1825年到1829年,他担任了约翰·昆西·亚当斯的副总统,但在下届总统选举中作为安德鲁·杰克逊的竞选搭档帮助击败了他. 在1812年战争(1812–15年)期间,卡尔洪是一位热心的民族主义者,在1830年代是冠军邦的权利。 Calhoun的白人至上主义思想认为奴隶制对南方经济至关重要。 他在美国参议院中代表南卡罗来纳州(1833–43;1845–50),同时提出"废黜"的学说,作为反对未来反奴隶制立法的堡垒,主张各州有权废除任何他们认为非建制的联邦行为. 在1850年妥协谈判期间,卡尔霍恩警告说,承认俄勒冈州和加利福尼亚州为自由州会破坏国会中的权力平衡,促使拥有奴隶的州脱离. 虽然他害怕这种前景,但他的想法有助于实现这种前景。
