    Ever since he was a child, Henry Clay displayed a proficiency for law, and accordingly attempted to fight for his beliefs of American freedom through politics and the government. These tactics can be seen in Clay’s fight to abolish slavery, as he helped establish the American Colonization Society to fight for an end to slavery, and even becomes its first president. One can see similar tactics in Clay’s defending of his other beliefs. For example, in an effort to keep the Union united, Clay used his competence for law and politics to broker many important compromises between conflicting parties, and he even earned the nickname the “Great Pacificator”. Additionally, Clay even founded a political party, the Whigs, which had similar beliefs to his own, in order to defend his beliefs and goals. Clay also strongly believed in America having economic freedom and security by being self-sufficient, and accordingly used his tactics of politically fighting for his beliefs by passing many tariffs and increasing funding in infrastructure to bolster the American System, an economic plan centered around American industry. While Henry Clay used politics and the government to defend his beliefs, Denmark Vesey resorted to violence and uprisings to achieve his freedom goals.

    Yes the “Cult of Honor” idea does really influence the culture of the South. White males in the South thought that they had to defend their “honor”. They spent their entire life being courteous and respectful to everyone and expected it back in return. If someone violated them in any way, they would get into a verbal or physical fight with them, sometimes even dueling with them. They thought it showed bravery, dignity, and authority. Anything that challenged the dignity, social station, or “man hood”, would result in them having to defend their honor. But most of all, any insult to a white southern woman was the most important obligation of a southern gentleman.…
