Calhoun was a senator from South Carolina. He was also a member of the House of Representatives from 1811 to 1817, and after that he was Secretary of War from 1817 to 1825. Calhoun was Vice President of the United States after being Secretary of War until 1832, Secretary of State for one year between 1844 through 1845. He was a member of the Democratic Party during the 1850s. Calhoun was a leader of the pro-slavery senators.2 It is evident that Calhoun was very involved with the government. Daniel Webster served two terms in the House of Representatives. He was known as an expert on the Constitution and was elected into the senate in 1828. He was affiliated with Federalists, National Republicans, and Whig Political Parties. 3 Webster is the Prime suspect in John C. Calhoun's murder based on the fact that they each had different views on The Compromise of 1850. Other suspects are ruled out, like Jackson and Adams because they were dead. James Tallmadge was defined as "a man of fine presence, polished manners, and broad sympathies" so in this case a murder very much went against his character and what his family vouched of
