Grant was a strong anti-secessionist, and he spent much breath in arguing with the people in private.
Webster, not his foolish opponents, gauged its strength correctly in 1850. The clew to what actually happened in 1850 lies in the course of such an ardent Southerner as, for example, Langdon Cheeves. Early in the year, he was a leading secessionist, but at the close of the year a leading anti-secessionist.
Moreover, he had been a rabid anti-secessionist. It must be remembered, however, that, like most Southerners, he regarded secession as an entirely local issue, to be settled by the people of each state for themselves. He took no exception to the position that a state had the constitutional right to sever its connection with the Union if its people so desired.
