  • John Caldwell Calhoun (March 18, 1782 - March 31, 1850) was a Southern politician in the United States before the American Civil War. As a Senator from South Carolina and as Vice President of the United States under Presidents John Quincy Adams (1825-1829) and Andrew Jackson (1829-1832), he fought fiercely for the extension of slavery into new territories and other issues of interest to the South such as tariff reform. A supporter of states' rights, he also championed an idea he called Nullification, by which a state government could refuse to comply with a duly passed Federal law it found distasteful, effectively subordinating the Federal government to the states.
