  4. John Quincy Adams “Clay started, however, immediately to the Missouri question, yet in debate before both Houses of Congress, and…said it was a shocking thing to think of, but he had not a doubt that within five years from this time the Union would be divided into three distinct confederacies. I did not incline to discuss the subject with him.”
