In this article, we examine this growing trend.

HENRY CLAY: THE GREAT COMPROMISER, PART III
Henry Clay became the leader of the opposition to Jackson and the Democratic Party. In 1840, with his party almost guaranteed to win, he was denied the nomination. He got the nomination in 1844. While in the Senate, he crafted another Great Compomise which avoided armed conflict over the tariff issue and nullification.

HENRY CLAY: THE GREAT COMPROMISER, PART IV
Henry Clay had his final chance at the White House in 1844, and lost in a close race. His fluctuating position on Texas probably cost him the election. He continued to serve his country with perhaps his greatest contribution, the Compromise of 1850. This was Clay's greatest accomplishment and saved the Union.
