Title: Letter written by Daniel Webster, 1850
Date Original: 1850-02-27
Description: Text in full: “My Dear Sir Where
shall I find that observation of Mr. Madison, which States the reason for keeping
the word “Slavery” out of the Constitution? Give my love to Mary Rackminster,
her husband and children. Danl Webster”. This letter was written just days before
Webster gave one of his most famous speeches, on March 7, 1850, supporting the
Compromise of 1850, which included the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. Following
a backlash against him from New England abolitionists, Webster resigned from
the Senate later that year, returning to the post of Secretary of State.
