Henry Clay annelisegraceless answered: henry clay. So if I remember correctly, this fine fellow was an American statesman and orator, representing Kentucky in the House and Senate. Not to mention just a great guy, worked hard to get slavery out of here; played a huge role in the Missouri Compromise and the Civil War. War of 1812 as well. He did a lot in his lifetime, and apparently his speeches were drop-dead sexy. I think he and Andrew Jackson hated each other, too. POLITICIAN DRAMA!!
