This book explores the history and significance of a crucial moment in November 1821, when the prominent orator and politician, Daniel Webster, refuted the pro-slavery arguments of Congressman John Randolph with sharp wit and forceful logic, and in so doing helped to define the course of the American nation. The author analyzes this debate within the social, political, and intellectual climate of the early 19th century, arguing that Webster's powerful words articulated a new vision for America, one that rejected the institution of slavery and pointed toward a more just and equitable future. For anyone interested in the history of slavery in the United States, the development of American political thought, and the art of rhetoric, this book offers a captivating and thought-provoking account of a pivotal moment in the nation's history.
