Henry Clay

Henry Clay was a main War Hawk;  he was one of the important supporters of the War of 1812.    He was voted into  the House of Representatives In 1811 and was voted Speaker in his first day (something that had never been done before and hasn’t been done since). Clay was a most powerful Speaker of the House of Representatives yet (and successful and popular, too). 

He Was Very Supportive Of The American Plan (or, The Monkey or, the Every Man For Himself At The Expense Of His Neighbors Plan).  In the American Plan, people had to pay tariffs or taxes on imported or exported goods.  The money went to the federal government to make a large central bank and to pay for roads and canals and such.

Later, he was the founder and leader of the Whig Party! Clay also introduced the drink called a Mint Julep to DC. 

Philip V

Philip V (1683-1746) was a frenchman who was king of Spain. Philip was the first Bourbon king of Spain. His entire reign of 45 years and 21 days is the longest in Spanish history. A fight about his crown caused a war that made Spain’s empire decline. He had 11 children total and 2 marriages. His wars went arguably bad. He abdicated to his son, but he died of smallpox, so Philip resumed his throne.
