He entered the U.S. Senate on Missouri's admission to the Union in 1821 and was four times reelected. A supporter from 1824 of Andrew Jackson, with whom he had been at odds, Benton was a power in the administrations of Jackson and Martin Van Buren. He played one of the most prominent parts in the successful war on the Bank of the United States. A rigid "hard money" man (he delighted in the sobriquet "Old Bullion"), Benton had the ratio of silver to gold revised from 15 to 1 to 16 to 1 in 1834 and thus brought gold into circulation again. Congress defeated his resolution requiring that the public lands be paid for in hard money only, but Jackson immediately legalized the idea in an executive order (1836), the famous Specie Circular, which Benton drew up. His currency measures, intended to discourage continued land speculation and thereby encourage actual settlement of the West, were supported by Eastern workers, who wished to be paid in specie rather than in notes of uncertain value. Benton also supported all legislation that aided settlers and favored the development of the West, including reduction in the price of government lands, suppression of land speculation, westward removal of the Native Americans, and internal improvements. He advocated government support of Western exploration, with which he was intimately connected through the expeditions of John Charles

POLITIKER Clinton, DeWitt Hart Benton, Thomas Jackson, Andrew Jefferson, Thomas ... Smith, John DeWitt Clinton (1796 - 18728): Der Begriff "Flussmann" paßt eigentlich nciht zu dem New Yorker Politiker DeWitt Clinton, aber er war größtenteils für den Bau der ersten großen Wasserstrasse verantwortlich, die die östlichen USA auf dem direktesten Weg mit dem Inneren des Kontinents verband: des Eriekanals, der den Atlantischen Ozean über den Hudson River mit den Großen Seen verband. Der große, 1825 eröffnete kanal war vom Hudson bei Albany bis zum Hafen Buffalo am Eriesee fas 600 km lang. Er besaß 83 Schleusen, die einen Höhenunterschied von rund 17 m ausglichen. Die Bauzeit, Erde mußte gesprengt, ausgetgraben, -gekratzt und forttransportiert werden, belief sich auf beinahe acht Jahre. Clinton, langjähriger Bürgermeister von New York City, setzte sich nachdrücklich für den Bau des Kanals ein, der insgesamt 7 Millionen US-Dollar kostete. Thomas Hart Benton (1782 - 1858): Als Vertreter des Staates Missouri im US-Senat diente Benton drei Jahrzehntelang der Sache, die als Amerikas "Manifest Destiny" bezeichnet wurde. Zwar hat Benton den Begriff nicht geprägt, aber zweifellos setzte er sich für das ein, was dahinterstand: das Recht der Vereinigten Staaten auf eine Expansion ihres Gebietes nach Westen. Zu diesem Zweck befürwortete Benton anfangs als Journalist in St. Louis und spater (1820 - 1850) als Senator verschiedene politische Maßnahmen, die diese Expansion fördern sollten (obwohl er die Rockies anfänglich als natürliche Grenze betrachtet hatte): einen Weg über Land an die Küste von Kalifornien und Oregon; die frühe US-Annexion Texas; Chancen für arme Farmer im Osten, im Westen aufzublühen, und die Erkundung der unerforschten westlichen Wildnis (durch seinen Schwiergersohn
