| | Today in History: June 29 |
| | On June 29, 1852, statesman Henry Clay, known as "the Great Compromiser" for his feats of legislative reconciliation between the North and the South, died at the age of seventy-five at the National Hotel in Washington, D.C. In his will, Clay freed the slaves of "Ashland," his Kentucky plantation. | | | In 1820, Clay negotiated the passage of the first of the three pieces of legislation which were to earn him the title of "Great Pacificator." The Missouri Compromise soothed the anxieties of both Southern and Northern factions by maintaining a balance between the number of states that permitted slavery and those that prohibited slavery. | | | The Henry Clay Family Papers are in the custody of the Library of Congress Manuscript Division. |

| | Lincoln's Eulogy on Henry Clay |
| | Henry Clay was born on the 12th of April 1777, in Hanover County, Virginia. | | | Clay, though not unknown, was still a young man. Whether we should go to war with Great Britain, being the question of the day, a minority opposed the declaration of war by Congress, while the majority, though apparently inclining to war, had, for years, wavered, and hesitated to act decisively. | | | Henry Clay, the Kentucky politician whom Lincoln called his "beau ideal of a statesman," died on June 29, 1852. |

| | Unit 3: Abolition and the Civil War |
| | Henry Clay was an important promoter of three compromise plans throughout his career in the United States House and Senate. | | | Clay would most likely have hoped that his "presidential" portrait would have communicated to voters his fairness, his devotion to the Union, and his ability to mediate between opposing sides of an issue. | | | Henry Clay's gift for negotiating compromises between the North and South helped maintain a balance between slave states and free states and may very well have averted the start of the Civil War by several years. |
