Daniel Webster Addressing the United States Senate in the Great Debate on the Compromise Measures 1850. Published by James M. Edney, New York. Lithograph, 1860. Webster is not front and center here as is often the case with prints of the Great Debate of 1850. He is off to the right, standing with arm raised. All of the Senate members are given careful and individual portraits with Henry Clay just to the right of Webster's upraised hand. An ailing John Calhoun is seated off to the left.

This, despite the many hotbed issues that the rapidly expanding United States had to decide upon. As a result of the "California Compromise" California was admitted to the Union as a free state and the slave trade was abolished in the District of Columbia, but Congress pledged not to interfere with the slave trade elsewhere.

12 24. Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal connecting Chesapeake Bay with Currituck, Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds and their tributary streams. John Lathrop. Lithograph, 1866. The Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal was built between 1856 and 1860 to allow inland navigation between Chesapeake Bay and Albemarle Sound. The project consisted of two canals, thirty miles apart; one eight and one-half miles long, connecting Elizabeth River with North Landing River in Virginia. The other was five and one-half miles long and connected Currituck Sound with North River in North Carolina. First authorized in 1772, the early history of the Albemarle & Chesapeake Canal consisted of much legislation, but no construction. Ten different acts were passed in both Virginia and North Carolina over a period of 83 years before construction finally began in 1855. Lead engineer on this project was Marshall Parks, Jr. The new canal would be wider and deeper than most others of its day. Parks planned for the canal to handle the larger steamers and future growth. It would also have only one lock. Construction of the Albemarle and Chesapeake was accomplished by seven steam dredges on floating platforms. When the canal was finished, it was an engineering marvel. It consisted of only one lock and two relatively short man-made channels, the Virginia Cut and the North Carolina Cut. The single lock, which balanced the lunar tides of the southern branch of the Elizabeth River with the wind driven ones of the North Landing River and Currituck Sound, was 40 feet wide and 220 feet long, the largest along the Atlantic coast and the second largest in the entire U.S. This map names and identifies light houses and light ships, railroads, towns, rivers and bays. The Currituck Sea Side Hotel is shown on the northern Outer Banks. Image size 29 x 22 1/4". Good condition. #71874.1 25.
