John Calhoun of South Carolina (the 7th Vice President of the US) was among the Southerners who resisted Northern efforts to introduce abolitionist laws in Congress.

They wanted their already booming economy to be spread into the new states. However, they reached conflict with the Northerners who were not in favor of slavery.

Like most Northerners, he had not been passionately anti-slavery.
