The Life of Webster Sermon on Slavery and Courage
A sermon by Theodore Parker in Boston recalls Daniel Webster's stance against the slave trade and his evolving position on slavery. The oration quotes Webster’s Plymouth Rock pledge to extirpate the trade, condemns colonial injustice, and notes his shifting views on Congress power, California and New Mexico, and the Fugitive Slave Act. It recounts public reaction in New England to his March speech and the lingering impact on regional politics.
