Calhoun served within several positions inside state and federal governments. He is most notably remembered for his tenure as vice president from 1825 to 1832, serving under both John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson from 1825 to 1832. Calhoun was known was for his staunch defense of slavery inside the United States. He led the pro-slavery faction inside the Senate, fighting against abolition and wanted to expand slavery westward in the United States. Calhoun's most infamous words in his political career was in defense of slavery. Many southern politicians excused slavery as a "necessary evil"; however, in a speech on the Senate floor on February 6, 1837, Calhoun defended slavery as a "positive good." On March 31, 1850, John C. Calhoun died of tuberculosis at the Old Brick Capitol boarding house in Washington, D.C. After Calhoun's death, white Charlestonians wanted to dedicate a monument in his honor. As of June 2020, the monument no longer stands. It was taken down in a unanimous vote by Charleston city council. Over the monument's 120-year-plus history, controversy has been present with fundraising, construction, maintenance, and the dismantlement of the John C. Calhoun monument. (en)
