Following the War with Mexico, the Gold Rush out west leads to the question of Californian statehood and the future of US expansion. In order to balance the tension between free and slave states, Henry Clay offers a compromise. Chris Calton gives a revisionist look at the antebellum period leading up to the Civil War. This is the second episode in the second season of Historical Controversies.
