Daniel Webster was born in Salisbury, New Hampshire. He was an American politician and lawyer. He was the outstanding spokesman for American nationalism with powerful oratory that made him a key Whig leader. He appointed the United States Secretary of State under three presidents. One of the highest-regarded courtroom lawyers of the era, Webster shaped several key U.S. Supreme Court cases that established important constitutional precedents that bolstered the authority of the federal government.
