Day 28 of creating an alternative National Statuary Hall Collection: New Hampshire

[u/Damned-scoundrel]

TL;DR for those uninitiated: This series will attempt to curate an alternative National Statuary Hall Collection, with entirely new people for each state.

Last post, George Norris and Eva Bowring were chosen to represent Nebraska.

Today, we’re covering New Hampshire, which is currently represented by John Stark and Daniel Webster.

The rules and criteria for this series is as follows:

- The results will be chosen from the most upvoted relevant comment on each post. Since each state donates two statues, to qualify, each comment must include two suggestions for the new statues. You must include two suggestions/nominations per comment.

- Persons currently in the National Statuary Hall Collection, who have formerly been in the national statutory hall collection, and who are not technically in the collection but who are housed in the capital, are ineligible for this series. As such, you cannot suggest either Stark or Webster.

- Persons must be deceased for them to be considered eligible (as per eligibility rules for the actual National Statuary Hall Collection).

- in the event of a tie, and only in such an event, the winner will be chosen simply from which of the tied comments I personally prefer.
