Hayne's Speech To Which Webster Replied; Volume 530

By Robert Young Hayne

This volume contains the complete text of Senator Robert Young Hayne's famous speech in the Senate, delivered in 1830. Hayne, a prominent senator from South Carolina, advocated for states' rights and limited federal government power. His eloquent defense of these principles ignited a heated debate with Daniel Webster, a senator from Massachusetts, who championed the cause of national unity.

Hayne's speech is a crucial document for understanding the political tensions of the early 19th century United States, particularly the growing divide between the North and South. It directly addresses issues of tariffs, federal overreach, and the doctrine of nullification, setting the stage for the Civil War. This historical document offers valuable insight into the complex issues that shaped American history and continues to be relevant for understanding contemporary debates about federalism and the balance of power.
