This man, as Secretary of War under Monroe, created the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
This man, as Secretary of War under Monroe, created the Bureau of Indian Affairs. His namesake doctrine claims that Congress cannot ban slavery in the territories and, in one speech, this figure claimed that slavery was a positive good. This man was succeeded in his highest position by Martin (*) Van Buren due to his wife's role in the Peggy Eaton Affair. This politician also published an "Exposition and Protest" for his home state in response to the Tariff of Abominations. That publication led to this man's clash with Andrew Jackson, whom he'd served as Vice President, during the Nullification Crisis. For 10 points, name this South Carolinian politician and member of the Great Triumvirate.
