Nah, wasn’t me. I’m not really too familiar with Calhoun outside his staunch defense of slavery as a “positive good” and Mrs. Calhoun being the original slut shamer in the Peggy Eaton Affair.

You can add an Anddrew Jackson quote to your Calhoun file:

The day after Van Buren was elected president, Jackson took the time to reflect on his own presidency with a friend. When asked if he had any regrets about the last eight years, this was his response: “[That] I didn’t shoot Henry Clay and I didn’t hang John C. Calhoun.”
