Treaty of Washington
an agreement signed in Washington,
D.C. on May 8, 1871 by the United States and Great Britain that provided
for both countries to submit their disputes to arbitration (Tribunal
of Arbitration), stipulated that Britain would pay $37,500,000 as direct
indemnity (compensation for damage), pay for shipping sunk as decided by
an Admiralty Court in New York City, grant to the United States perpetual
rights to navigate the St. Lawrence River through Quebec and provided for
boundary agreements re the Lake of the Woods and Point Roberts, B.C.
(No confederation in Canada:
If Canada was really a confederation
and became a nation in 1867, Britain couldn't have then agreed to this,
as it would have been out of her realm.
Canada's
myth of confederation in 1867
is still erroneously taught by those
ignorant of the facts, so Canada.still.celebrates
its 'birthday' every July 1st, calculating its age dating back to 1867.
Canada, not having any say
of her own in affairs affecting her, could say little of any impact as
the US and Britain put any concerns by Canadians on the back burner by
means of this Treaty of Washington, allowing equal navigation of the
St. Lawrence River where it traverses the Province of Quebec; relinquishing
the territories of the Lake of the Woods, Point Roberts and the San
Juan Islands.(northwestern
Washington, at the entrance to Puget Sound. The islands lie to the east
of Vancouver Island, B.C.) and granting equal rights for ten years to the
fisheries. This could not have happened had Canada been a country on her
own, as she would not have been responsible for the things that occurred
that the US was demanding reparation
from Britain for; this occurred 4 years after Canada'a supposed confederation
on July 1, 1867; the belief that Canada has confederated is contrary to
fact, proving some past to recent past government administrations in Canada
have been feeding us fiction)
One major point at issue
was an American demand that Britain pay reparations for Union ships destroyed
during the American Civil War by Confederate raiders built and equipped
in England (see Alabama Claims in an encyclopedia). Also at issue was the
San Juan Boundary Dispute involving rival claims by the two nations to
the San Juan islands at the north end of Puget Sound. The islands could
have belonged to either country because of faulty wording in the treaty
that settled the Northwest Boundary Dispute in 1846. Both points were eventually
settled in favor of the U.S. The treaty also provided for a commission
to settle the North Atlantic fishing dispute; as a result both countries
exchanged various fishing, navigational and customs privileges in North
America..Microsoft®

Trent Affair
an incident during the American Civil War that
severely tested diplomatic relations between the United States and Britain.
Britain supported the Confederacy. On November 8, 1861, Captain Charles
Wilkes of the U.S. vessel.San Jacinto.intercepted
at sea the British mail steamer.Trent,
bound for Europe from Havana, Cuba. He took from the ship two Confederate
commissioners who were among the passengers, James Mason, who was accredited
to Britain and John Slidell, who was accredited to France. The two diplomats
were subsequently held as prisoners in Boston, but Britain demanded their
release on the ground that they had been forcibly taken from a neutral
vessel on the high seas upon a voyage from one neutral point to another
and that therefore Wilkes's action had been illegal. Wilkes had been hailed
as a hero in the U.S. and the possibility of war between the two countries
seemed imminent. On December 26, however, U.S. Secretary of State William
Henry Seward repudiated the capture of the prisoners, who were released
the following January..Microsoft®
