A Very Good copy. This pamphlet contains printed correspondence between Daniel Webster (1782-1852), an American lawyer and politician, and Lord Ashburton (also known as Alexander Baring; 1774-1848), a British politician, about three significant subjects in United States and British history. Each subject is treated separately beginning with "McLeod's Case" and followed by the "Creole Case" and by the "Subject of Impressment." Also factoring into at least the first two subjects is the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 which addressed them at least in part. "McLeod's Case" is about the trial of Alexander McLeod (1796-1871), a Scottish-Canadian sheriff who was arrested and charged with the murder of Amos Durfee, an African-American sailor and watchmaker who was fatally shot in the infamous Caroline affair (1837-1842). McLeod was eventually acquitted by a jury because he apparently had an alibi showing he had not been near Durfee when the murder happened. The Caroline was a steamboat that had been used by Canadian rebels led by William Lyon McKenzie (1795-1861), a Scottish Canadian, to ferry weapons and supplies between Navy Island on the Canadian side of the Niagara River and Schlosser, New York. The rebels were dissatisfied with British administration in Canada. British and Canadian forces eventually captured the Caroline at Schlosser's Landing in the U.S. and set it on fire and over Niagara Falls. During the confrontation between the Anglo-Canadian forces and McKenzie's crew aboard the Caroline (who later fled the ship), shots were exchanged and Durfee was killed. The Caroline affair led to the establishment of international law regarding territorial inviolability that said a country could only trespass into another country for unavoidable preemptive self-defense purposes. "The Creole Case" is about the Creole mutiny (1841), widely considered the most successful slave revolt in U.S. history. One of the slaves, Madison Washington, led a revolt aboard the slave ship Creole and forced a plantation overseer, William Merritt, to redirect the ship (originally headed for New Orleans) to Nassau in the British-controlled Bahamas. Since Britain had outlawed the slave trade in 1807 and slavery in 1833, it ruled that all of the slaves on board the Creole, which had landed at Nassau, were now free. Webster ruled against the slaves in this case (claiming they were U.S. "property"), but British law was upheld and the majority of the slaves (128 in total) were freed. "Subject of Impressment" addresses the issue of sailor impressment involving the U.S. and Britain. Notably, the Webster-Ashburton Treaty resolved some of the territorial conflicts between the U.S. and Britain and included a mutual agreement that there should be an end to the slave trade. …
