Vintage portrait print circa 1852 of John Caldwell Calhoun (1782 - 1850) - the seventh US Vice-President (1825 - 1832) and a leading southern politician during the first half of the 19th century. He was an advocate of slavery, the rights of individual states and limited government and was the first Vice-President to resign from office. A controversial figure, he is sometimes ranked among the greatest senators in American history. Calhoun also served as Secretary of War from 1817 to 1825 and Secretary of State from 1844 to 1845.
