John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) was one of the most prominent statesmen in the Early Republic and antebellum eras, serving as a congressman and senator from South Carolina, as well as Andrew Jackson’s Vice President. He favored Indian removal, as he believed that American civilization was superior to Native American society.

From the exhibition: After Removal: Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation, August 25, 2017 - January 21, 2018.
Curated by Dr. Duane King & Dr. Natalie Panther, 2017.
