By Daniel Webster

Book Overview

""Mr. Webster's Vindication of the Treaty of Washington of 1842"" is a speech delivered by Daniel Webster in the Senate of the United States in 1846. The speech serves as a defense of the Treaty of Washington, which was signed in 1842 between the United States and Great Britain. Webster argues that the treaty was a fair and just resolution to long-standing disputes between the two nations over the border between Maine and Canada, and the navigation of certain waterways. He also addresses criticisms of the treaty and defends the actions of the American negotiators. The speech is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the diplomatic relations between the United States and Great Britain in the mid-19th century, and the political climate in which the treaty was negotiated and ratified.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
