Rockingham Memorial
Brentwood's meetinghouse could not hold the nearly 2,000 Federalists who gathered for the Friends of Peace rally here on August 5, 1812. So under the great canopy of Heaven, Daniel Webster read his Rockingham Memorial, opposing the United States' entry into the War of 1812. Although he had not held any previous elective office, before the meeting ended Webster was chosen to run for Congress on the Peace Ticket. He won the election and became a national figure.
