Biography
Daniel Webster was born in
1782 in
Salisbury, New Hampshire to
Ebenezer and
Abigail Webster.
Ebenezer, a farmer, strongly encouraged his son to
pursue an education so that he would not have to endure the hardships of living
as a farmer. With his father’s encouragement and sacrifice,
Webster attended
Dartmouth College and graduated in
1801.
After Dartmouth,
Webster studied law, first with
Thomas W. Thompson in
Salisbury, New Hampshire and then under
Christopher Gore in
Boston, Massachusetts. After passing the bar in
1805,
Webster returned to his hometown of
Boscawen, New Hampshire and practiced law until
his father’s death in
1806.
Webster then practiced law in
Portsmouth, New Hampshire and became very involved
in the Federalist Party. In
1807 he was elected as a Representative for the
State of New Hampshire and he served in that
position until
1916. During that time,
Webster also argued cases before the Supreme
Court. In the course of his career,
Webster argued over 170 cases before the Supreme
Court, an unparalleled number.
In
1816,
Webster moved to
Boston and started a law practice. He continued to
argue cases before the Supreme Court, as well as the local courts in
Massachusetts. During this time he argued one of
his most famous cases, the
Dartmouth College case in
1819.
Webster argued for the college trustees against
the
State of New Hampshire, to keep the college a
private rather than public entity. The Supreme Court’s decision in favor
of
Dartmouth College is historically important
because it limits the control of state governments over corporate charters.
Webster was elected representative for
Massachusetts in
1822 and served in that role until
1827 when he was elected as a Senator for
Massachusetts.
Webster became an important member of the Senate
and is known for several famous orations. In addition,
Webster left a more physical legacy in the Senate
Chambers--
Webster’s desk is unique among the desks in
the Senate Chambers to this day because he refused to let his desk be modified
along with the others in the
1830s.
After serving in the Senate for 15 years and an unsuccessful campaign
for the presidency in
1836,
Webster was appointed Secretary of State by
President Harrison in
1841. He continued as Secretary with
Harrison’s successor,
Tyler, until
1843. While Secretary of State,
Webster’s greatest accomplishment is the
Webster-
Ashburton Treaty of
1842 that established the definitive border between the
United States and
Canada between
Maine and
New Brunswick and in the
Great Lakes area.
Webster was again elected to the Senate in
1845. He resigned in
1850 to be Secretary of State again, for
Fillmore, until his death in
1852.
Webster married his first wife,
Grace, in
1810 and they had five children:
Daniel Fletcher,
Grace Fletcher,
Julia,
Charles and
Edward.
Grace died in
1828 and
Webster married his second wife,
Caroline, in
1929. Of his five children, only
Daniel Fletcher outlived his father but was killed
in
1862 in the Second Battle of Bull Run.
Daniel Webster died
October 24, 1852.
