1842

Chancellor Daniel Webster supports a measure to compensate previous slave holders as interpreted by the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment, as well as inspiration from British abolition in their colonies. The support for the Unionist government falters among Libertarians under the decision.
  Webster also angered many Republicans and Whigs by using federal troops for integration and enforcement of federal laws in former rebellious territories. Though this act would require royal consent, King Augustus II becomes very ill, and allows for the Chancellor and the Crown Prince to do much of the governing.
