Calhoun was elected to the Legislature at a time when his area of the state, the "Backcountry," was receiving greater representation as a result of the Compromise of 1808.
Calhoun's later speeches defended his constituency, South Carolina and the agrarian South, and the economic labor structure based on the "peculiar institution" of African-American slavery.
Calhoun, at the same time, lost national support for his defense of slavery as a "positive good" in the context of a class struggle, and he lost local support in South Carolina and the South from the hotheaded politicians called "fire-eaters" for his conciliatory attitudes toward the North.
