In July of 1933, the North Carolina State Legislature formed the EBNC. The EBNC is The Eugenics Board of North Carolina. The board was formed to repeal a 1929 law that had been put in place to provide sterilization for persons that were feeble minded and mentally defective in North Carolinian penal institutes.

Calhoun is no exception to this. The creators of the John C. Calhoun monument artfully created the statue in a way that preserves his significance to the history of South Carolina as a state for generations to come. Calhoun is portrayed as a powerful and notable figure through the messages and aesthetics of the statue itself, and the hidden meanings they carry.
