John C. Calhoun. He supported states' right to nullify Federal laws. He resigned the Vice-Presidency to become a Senator from South Carolina to be able to openly and forcefully support states' rights. Henry Clay was "the Great Compromiser". The force behind the Missouri Compromise. Certainly not pushing States' Rights. Robert E. Lee was torn apart inside when making his decision whether to stay with the Union, which he believd in, or to follow Virginia. He was not a great advocate of States' Rights over the federal government. Jefferson Davis, as Senator from Miss. and subsequently President of the Confederacy, certainly supported that position. But Calhoun was in the forefront and widely known as the spokesman for that position.
