Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Daniel Mallory wrote a book titled 'A Biography of Henry Clay, Volume 2: The Senator from Kentucky' that details Henry Clay's final years and political career. The book continues where the previous volume left off, spanning the years 1831-1852, when Clay passed away. In the second book, Clay's continuous engagement in American politics is examined, along with his three failed presidential campaigns. Mallory digs into the numerous elections and campaigns and offers a thorough examination of Clay's strategy and methods. He also looks at Clay's contribution to the Compromise of 1850, a significant legislative success that helped prevent a possible civil war over the slavery debate. In the second book of Mallory's biography, Clay's private life is explored in more detail. He talks about Clay's interactions with his friends, family, and contemporary leaders like Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun. Mallory also sheds light on Clay's health problems, which bothered him all of his life and eventually led to his death. Mallory delves further into Clay's political ideology and his vision for America throughout the whole book. Mallory thoroughly discusses these topics, which Clay was a strong proponent of since he wanted the economy to modernize and the country to do better. He also looks at Clay's opinions on slavery and the function of the government in controlling it. Mallory's writing is interesting and educational, and he uses a variety of sources, such as historical records and private correspondence, to provide a complex and well researched narrative of Clay's life. Anyone interested in American political history, especially the early to mid-19th century, should read this book. Seller Inventory # 9789359395289
