"I hold the idea of a separation of these
States, those that are free to form one
government, and those that are slave-holding
to form another, as such an impossibility. ...
There are natural causes that would keep and
tie us together, and there are social and
domestic relations which we could not break
if we would, and which we should not if we
hould."
O slavery must end immediately.
Southern states should secede.
the Union must stay together.

-Daniel Webster, 1850
