Every unpunished murder takes away something from the security of every man's life.
"Daniel Webster" was a leading American United States Senate/senator and statesman during the era of the Second Party System. He was the outstanding spokesman for American nationalism with powerful oratory that made him a key Whig Party (United States)/Whig leader. He spoke for Conservatism in the United States/conservatives, and led the opposition to Democrat Andrew Jackson and his History of the Democratic Party (United States)/Democratic Party. He was a spokesman for modernization, banking, and industry, but not for the common people who composed the base of his opponents in Jacksonian Democracy. "He was a thoroughgoing elitist, and he reveled in it," says biographer Robert Remini. During his 40 years in national politics, Webster served in the House of Representatives for 10 years (representing New Hampshire), in the Senate for 19 years (representing Massachusetts), and was appointed the United States Secretary of State under three presidents.
