FRtR Biographies Henry Clay Henry Clay (1777-1852) An Introduction Text by Thomas Rush He was one of the most partisan, hot-headed, and polarizing politicians of his day. Yet he was also a statesman possessing an unsurpassed ability for brokering differences, for finding the middle ground, for soothing and consoling opposing passions into compromise and reconciliation. At one point in his career he was dubbed "The Dictator" by some of his Senate colleagues. But this political gut-fighter's most lasting fame and greatest contribution to his country was achieved in the role of "The Great Pacificator," the man who held together the Union. Henry Clay failed in his all consuming ambition to become President of the United States. "I would rather be right than President," was his most famous remark, and probably one of the greatest utterances of political sour grapes of all time. Yet in failing in his fondest goal he became perhaps the foremost legislator America ever produced. He served as Speaker of the House longer than any man in the 19th Century, transforming the office from a mere presiding function into one of enormous power and influence.

Henry Clay Profile: Statesman/Presidential Candidate Birthdate: April 12, 1777 Died: June 29, 1852 Birthplace: Hanover Co., Va. Credits: (See Below) Biographical Notes Clay, Henry (1777-1852), American statesman, who was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams and an unsuccessful candidate for the presidency in 1824, 1832, and 1844. He was one of the most popular and influential political leaders in American history. His genius in the art of compromise three times resolved bitter political conflicts that threatened to tear the nation apart, winning him the title The Great Pacificator. Clay was born on April 12, 1777, in Hanover County, Virginia, to a middle-class family. After studying for the bar with the eminent George Wythe, Clay, at the age of 20, moved to Lexington, Kentucky, where he developed a thriving practice. He was blessed with a quick mind, a flair for oratory, and an ability to charm both sexes with his easy, attractive manner. That he loved to drink and gamble was no drawback in an age that admired both vices. Clay, ambitious for worldly success, married into a wealthy and socially prominent family and soon gained entry into Kentucky's most influential circles. While still in his 20s, he was elected to the state legislature, in which he served for six years, until 1809. Clay established his great reputation in the United States House of Representatives, where he served intermittently from 1811 to 1825. In his first term, he became one of the leading "War Hawks"—the young men whose clamor for hostilities with England helped bring about the War of 1812. Clay was selected as one of the commissioners who in 1814 negotiated the Treaty of Ghent, ending that war.

Henry Clay, 1777-1852 On April 12, 1777, Henry Clay was born in Hanover County, Virginia. When he was only twenty years old, he studied to become an attorney under the well-known lawyer, George Wythe, in Richmond, Virginia. He passed the bar and moved to Lexington, Kentucky and developed a thriving practice. Henry soon married and was elected to the state legislature while still in his twenties, and served for six years until 1809. Political life was just beginning for Henry. In 1811 young Mr. Clay was elected to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he intermittently held office until 1825. In his first term he became known as one of the " War Hawks ." These were the young leaders who brought about the War of 1812. They were incensed by the poor treatment of the colonies by Great Britain and pushed for war. Mr. Clay was also chosen as one of the commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Ghent , ending that war.

Henry Clay (1777-1852) (see relationship at end of story) A United States statesman. His genius for compromise won him the titles of "the Great Pacifier" and "the Great Compromiser" in the era proceeding the Civil War. He was also a master parliamentarian and an eloquent orator. Clay was an unsuccessful candidate for President three times. Later he remarked, "I would rather be right than President!" Clay was secretary of state under President John Quincy Adams. Twice he sat in the Kentucky legislature, the second time as its speaker. He served 11 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, most of the time as speaker, and 16 years in the U.S. Senate. In politics, Clay was a spokesman for the border state Kentucky and the middle-of-the-road Whig party. He sought to reconcile differences between the North and South on slavery. Clay also represented the nationalist outlook of the young, expanding Middle West. In support of the region’s territorial interests, he boldly urged war with Britain in 1812. Through his "American System" political platform, which called for protective tariffs for eastern manufacturers, federally finance internal improvements for the West, and a national bank, he sought to link the industrial east with the agrarian west.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History CLAY, HENRY , statesman. Leader of the Whig party and five times an unsuccessful presidential candidate, Clay played a central role on the stage of national politics for over forty years. He was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams, Speaker of the House of Representatives longer than anyone else in the nineteenth century, and the most influential member of the Senate during its golden age. In a parliamentary system, he would have undoubtedly become prime minister. Clay's personal magnetism made him one of America's best-loved politicians; his elaborate scheming made him one of the most cordially hated. Through it all he displayed remarkable consistency of purpose: he was a nationalist, devoted to the economic development and political integration of the United States. As Speaker of the House in 1812, Clay was one of the "War Hawks," men who believed that war with Great Britain was necessary to preserve the overseas markets of American staple producers. But Clay also served as a negotiator at the Ghent peace conference, and for the rest of his life pursued conciliation at home and abroad. Although a slaveholder, Clay disapproved of slavery as a system; he advocated gradual emancipation and the resettlement of the freed people in Africa. He defended, unsuccessfully, the right of the so-called Five Civilized Tribes of Indians to their lands. He warned that annexation of Texas would provoke war with Mexico and exacerbate tensions between North and South, and he opposed the war when it came. He consistently fostered good relations with Latin America.
