Daniel Webster
The book that I read was entitled Daniel Webster and the Rise of the National Conservation. It was written by Richard N. Current and was published in the year of Daniel Webster was brought into this world on the 18th day of January in the year 1782 in the valley of the Merrimack, near the middle of New Hampshire. He was son of a farmer and never really lacked attention while he was growing up. Webster demonstrated startling powers of assimilation and retention even as a child. He received the best of his early education from newspapers, his mother's bible, political gossip throughout the town and listening to his father's fascinating tales of great men and their battles. Webster graduated from Dartmouth college in 1801 and shortly after, in 1807 he opened a legal practice in Portsmouth, New Hampshire after a legal apprenticeship. Daniel was a leading lawyer, a wonderful orator, a father, husband, and statesmen. In 1812 he was elected to the United States House of Representatives due to his opposition to the war of 1812. In the year of 1816, Webster left the congress and moved to Boston with his wife and two children to the growing New England metropolis. Soon after his move he was earning about 20,000 dol
Daniel Webster was also an alcoholic. Webster borrowed huge amounts of money from a numerous people when he was in debt and usually did not pay them back. Maybe Richard Current agreed with some of Webster's ideas or his views on things. The six years ahead of him were going to stand out about all of his honors in the never-ending tourney of political debate. In 1827 Webster was elected senator from Massachusetts. A few years later in 1823 Webster returned to congress from Boston, and in 1824 he met the irrepressible tarrif advocates again and battled with their greatest successor, Henry Clay. He talks about Webster being against tarrifs and for some other tarrifs. In 1836 Webster really changed his status and decided to run for president as one of the three Whig Party candidates, but he lost. The compromise of 1850 is a good example, because Current showed how Webster worked with that. lars a year, yet still borrowing large sums of money from his friends. I do not think that the author was so sympathetic that he gave an unfair appraisal of Webster, I just simply think that he was a little more lenient to Webster's better side. He helped to preserve the Union, being a great leader and overcoming many hardships; therefore, my perception of him is a very good one. During a speech before the senate in 1850 Webster stated that he supported the compromise of 1850, denouncing southern threats of secession, but urging northern support for a stronger law for the recovery of fugitive slaves. To me the author seems sympathetic to Daniel Webster.
