- Description
- Following his time spent as a congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1828 to 1835, Clement Comer Clay (1789-1866) was elected governor of Alabama. Just two years later in 1837 Clay was appointed U.S. Senator (this was before senators were elected by popular vote). Clay and his family were one of the most prominent enslavers in Alabama, owning four plantations and nearly 90 slaves by 1860.
