LAD 11

Calhoun starts off asking the question, "what can preserve the unity?". He begins to speak about the massive differences and dislikes between the North and the South, and he also speaks about what caused their falling out. He speaks about possible solutions, one of which would be giving dominance in the governement to the north rather than the south. He also brings up the fact that there is a new territory, Texas, and how the manifest destiny relates to it. Many of these topics are also included in the larger issue dealing with slavery and morality. At this point his views seem a bit more biased, somewhat attacking the north and their unfair power in the governement. HE wants the north to agree to these terms, but of course, he cannot make them. He finishes with an opened hand reaching to the north, hoping for the best.
