Mandeville, LA – Exclusive Video and Audio – John C. Calhoun was born on this day in the state of South Carolina. He was an achieved and accomplished man and, politically, they would be the envy of men today. He was not only a statesman but he was also a great political thinker, which there were several around that time, but what separated him was his virtuous behavior and his Christian Gentleman-like attitude.  Russell Kirk writes about this in his book “Roots Of American Order”, about how you cannot have Law, without Order and how there are no laws without morals. So the men

writing and enforcing the law must be of a higher moral standing, of which Robert C. Calhoun held himself to those standards. For more on Calhoun please check out today’s Founders TV and sign up for a Founders Pass if you don’t already have one…
