The Webster-Hayne Debate of 1830 was a famous exchange in the United States Senate between Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and Robert Y. Hayne of South Carolina that focused on the issues of states' rights and the nature of federal union. Webster's defense of national unity and his refutation of states' rights doctrine with the phrase "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!" became a defining moment in the antebellum period, highlighting the growing sectional tensions between North and South.
