        Henry Clay is the answer to a disproportionately high number of historical trivia questions. He did so much, but come on, creativity people?

        Great historical photo. Thank you! Clay and Daniel Webster were true statesmen and orators. Wish we had more like them today.

        Clay could give McConnell a few lessons on compromise.

        Also, Mary Lincoln sat on his knee as a child - he was from Kentucky & was acquainted the Todds. I'm sure Lincoln was in awe of that.

        Photos from that period often give me the mistaken impression of derangement. How long were they posing before the exposure happened?

        This is a fake news photo. Clearly photoshopped. Henry Clay was not an extra from Walking Dead.
