HENRY CLAY: THE GREAT COMPROMISER, PART III

» Tina_Coruth - This is so interesting!

Hi John,

This is so interesting! It seems that Clay had a talent for compromise, yet a real need to manipulate and both often backfired on him.

I look forward to the next article!

You summed up Clay beautifully. And so concise. Maybe you should be writing these articles. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by. Glad you liked the article. I always appreciate hearing your comments.

Hi John,
Thank you for such a nice compliment! However, I could only make my observation after reading your article. Presidents & First Ladies couldn't have a better editor. As Jerri has said, "you make history come alive." :-)

I'll second that vote! These stories are so fascinating and turn our leaders into real people! Just the kind of history I love.

Thanks, Tina. The most fascinating part of history is the people. That's why I am enjoying your series on Josiah Bartlett so much. You, too, have brought an interesting historical figure to life.

It's always good to see you here. Thanks for the supportive comments.

Hi Terrie. Haven't seen you here in a while. Great to have you back! I especially appreciate your generous, supportive comments. To paraphrase someone, history is often made by ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances.

Thanks again for the kind words of support.
