During the slavery debates in Congress, three of the most notable speakers were Daniel Webster, who advocated for the Union and compromise; John C. Calhoun, a staunch defender of slavery and Southern interests; and William H. Seward, who argued against the expansion of slavery and for human rights. Their speeches reflected the deep divisions in American society regarding slavery and helped shape the political landscape leading up to the Civil War. Each speaker brought a unique perspective that highlighted the complexities and moral dilemmas of the era.
