Off the top of my head, I can think of Thaddeus Stevens (strongly anti-slavery) and John C. Calhoun (rabidly pro-slavery). To research anyone's biography, look them up on line (Google them), go to the library and look for articles or books about them. Idea for conversation? Their views on slavery.

Or, you might choose John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. They both served in the U.S. House after 1820 and clashed on many issues. Clay and Adams were rivals for the presidency, a well. Look them up and see what you think.
And when you look up any of these guys (or others), also look up articles about the issues they faced to find out more about the issues that were the subject of conversation.
