LAD 12: John Calhoun's Speech

In John Calhoun's speech, Calhoun addresses the need for an end to the American Mexican War. He calls upon the two parties to put aside their differences and help each other avoid a disastrous event. He blames some politicians for wanting to restore their wealth and power for the reason they chose to go to war instead of thinking about the common wealth of the US. Calhoun's main purpose for this speech was to get the two parties to work together and fight against the enemies and not each other.
