John C. Calhoun did not directly participate in the Compromise of 1850, as he was gravely ill at the time. However, he was a vocal advocate for the protection of Southern interests and states' rights, and his views influenced the debates surrounding the compromise. The Compromise sought to address tensions between free and slave states, but Calhoun's ideas about slavery and the South's position were central to the broader discussions leading up to the legislation. Ultimately, the Compromise was a temporary solution to the sectional conflict, not a resolution.
