Henry Clay was Speaker of the House, as discussed in the text. The side panel shows him as a Senator, which is not correct. I tried editing the side panel, but those lines are links. 2600:1700:4000:C950:FD80:AFFD:1A0F:9158 ( talk) 16:43, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Henry Clay was Speaker of the house a total of 6 different times:
To have his last Speakership (1823-1825) as the title of that subsection and then to list out only 3 of his Speakership terms doesn't seem to be completely correct. GoodDay, what do you think? Shearonink ( talk) 15:42, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
I maybe should have phrased that as "he served [or was elected] a total of 6 times to the Speakership in 6 separate Congresses". Shearonink ( talk) 15:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
Some sources have taken to a novel overuse of the verb "enslave", and if quoted directly or carelessly paraphrased, could cause misleading statements to be made. This article contained a statement that Clay enslaved 120 people, which is dubious. The cited source makes reference to purchase of such men and women, which by definition means they were enslaved by someone else. Enslavement and the buying of slaves are certainly both reprehensible, but they are distinct. 2600:1700:6795:3010:A426:CD86:98DB:4972 ( talk) 19:35, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
