Trivia Question: Daniel Webster was a noteworthy American politician of what short-lived party?
Answer: The Whigs
The Whigs briefly rose to prominence in order to oppose the Democratic Party after the Federalist Party disappeared. Men like Webster helmed this oppositional political party in often-conflicting directions. One of their most influential actions, however, was bringing about the Nullification Crisis where the federal government almost lost a majority of its power.
