Henry Clay (1777-1852) played a central role on the stage of national politics for over forty years. He was secretary of state under John Quincy Adams, Speaker of the House of Representatives longer than anyone else in the nineteenth century, and the most influential member of the Senate during its golden age.

Congressman Henry Clay had been a mentor of Abraham Lincoln when Lincoln served in the House of Representatives and even later on. Both men had been Whigs. Clay was from Kentucky.Clay died well before the US Civil War, and his career was outstanding. Clay owned slaves, and he and Lincoln often spoke about how difficult it would be to end slavery. Lincoln was so close to Clay that he delivered the eulogy at Clay funeral. There is much more to say about Clay. Space prohibits it.
