Daniel Webster's biggest mistake was The Seventh of March Speech. In it, he gave his support to the Compromise of 1850, which included the Fugitive Slave Law of 185, requiring federal officials to recapture and return runaway slaves.

The speech not only riled up abolitionists of the day, it irreparably harmed his legacy.
