Detailed explanation-1: -On this date, Daniel Webster, a Representative from New Hampshire during the 13th and 14th Congresses (1813–1817), as well as a Representative from Massachusetts from the 18th and 19th Congresses (1823–1827), was born on this date in Salisbury, New Hampshire.
Detailed explanation-2: -On March 7, 1850, Senator Daniel Webster delivered his famous “Seventh of March” speech urging sectional compromise on the issue of slavery. Advising abolition-minded Northerners to forgo antislavery measures, he simultaneously cautioned Southerners that disunion inevitably would lead to war.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1850, President Fillmore appointed Webster as secretary of state, and Webster contributed to the passage of the Compromise of 1850, which settled several territorial issues and enacted a new fugitive slave law. The Compromise proved unpopular in much of the North and undermined Webster’s standing in his home state.
