Robert Y.
Hayne
Senator of
South Carolina
Started with a plan to stop western land sales. January 1830 the debate took pace. Hayne
wanted states, not federal government to take control of the land. Webster challenged
this with the south's willingness to overthrow the union for region economical gain
Webster broadened the debate to things such as slavery and tariffs.
