How did great statesmen such as Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and Daniel Webster help keep national harmony?


Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and Daniel Webster were three senators that dominated US politics in 1812. They were responsible for many compromises during a time of instability because of the issue of slavery. Clay was responsible for the Missouri Compromise and for the Compromise Tariff of 1833. Calhoun defended that the Federal Government should protect slavery so the southern states could feel comfortable staying in the Union. Daniel Webster accepted Calhoun’s proposal, he pleaded with northerners to accept the south state's demands for the sake of the Union.

Can there be true harmony when compromising on a moral issue such as slavery? Why or why not?

Today is not possible to comprehend true harmony with the moral issue as slavery. But morality was not an issue in that time and they opted to remain a Union than to deal with the slavery “problem”. The problem was that this issue became bigger and bigger until it became the main problem of the nation, leading to the Civil War. This way. Lincoln took the matter as the main problem and objective of the War.

Answer:

I believe the first one is tobacco and the second one is trade with England

Explanation:

Originally, Native Americans in the eastern United States grew Nicotiana rustica, which was the first form of tobacco introduced in England and Portugal. N. Tabacam, first introduced to the Spanish, was obtained from Mexico and South America. It has been the preferred tobacco since settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, began growing it.

Caroli Linnaei Species Plantarum, 1762 edition including page with  NicotianaBecause planters believed that tobacco had to be grown on virgin soil, tobacco gradually made its way to the eastern part of what is now North Carolina. Consumer preferences for tobacco products changed decidedly from the early 1700's.

In 1839, bright leaf tobacco was discovered by a slave named Stephen (headman on the farm of Abisha Slade, a successful planter in Caswell County). Stephen fell asleep owing to the heat from the wood fires in the tobacco barn, and when he awoke the fire was almost out. He rushed to a charcoal pit and found some charred logs on the dying embers. He threw these on the fire, which created a sudden drying heat, which resulted in the brightest yellow tobacco ever seen.

The eighteenth century became the "Age of Snuff." Tobacco from North Carolina Old advertisements for cigarettes was used for snuff and pipe smoking, because the cigarette was not widely known outside of Spain. By the 1840's cigarettes had become popular with French women. Much to the chagrin of anti-tobacco societies, cigarettes caught on in the United States as well. Dr. Russell Thatcher TraIl, an anti- tobacco campaigner, said:

Some of the ladies of this refined and fashion-forming metropolis [New York] are aping the silly ways of some pseudo-accomplished foreigners, in smoking Tobacco through a weaker and more feminine article, which has been most delicately denominated cigarette. Despite such opposition to tobacco, the twentieth century saw a rise in its use.
