John Calhoun was extremely outspoken Washington personality, that butted heads on many issues. He was a typical southerner, who had a large amount of money, and believed that slavery was not only for the south, that it should continue to spread.Calhoun spread the word about the importance of balance that needed to be achieved between the states. Calhoun even states that the work down to prevent the country from spiting up was admirable. This issue was a growing topic, almost a pandemic. But then he becomes so bold to say that the North had more control within the government. And he relates this to the new territories being admitted into the U.S. that the power will become unbalanced, with the North having the most control. The North also had been industrializing, which would totally ruin the south. The incoming immigrants would stay in the North, because that is were the best jobs would be, the pollution would be great. The sum up is that the North, and the South would have to balance out, to benefit the entire country.
