Webster's War Votes Highlight Federalist Opposition

The Globe excerpt presents Webster's 1813 1814 votes showing marked opposition to war taxes and military funding. It cites July 6 1813 against spirits tax, July 9 against luxury tax, and July 10 against carriage taxes, plus later votes opposing naval and army appropriations. The piece argues these stances contradict wartime support and accuses Webster of misrepresentation in Senate debates.
