# William L. Clayton

> William Lockhart Clayton was an American business leader and government official. Much of his business career centered on cotton trading, he formed and grew a partnership that became Anderson, Clayton and Company - at one time the world's largest cotton trading company. Politically aligned with the Democratic Party, he initially opposed some of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's agricultural policies, but later reversed that opposition after Roosevelt's Secretary of State Cordell Hull worked for reciprocal free trade agreements.
