Henry Clay's supporters primarily consisted of members of the Whig Party, which he helped to establish in the 1830s. His political base included various groups such as business interests, merchants, and planters, particularly in the border states and the South. Clay was also popular among those who favored a strong federal government, internal improvements, and a national bank. His advocacy for compromise during contentious issues like slavery attracted a diverse coalition of supporters throughout his political career.
