Contention on the 1850 Convention and Central American Claims
Volume XLVIII Boston debates Buchanan’s 1854 statement. It argues Britain must withdraw from Ruatan, the Mosquito coast, and Central American possessions under the 1850 treaty, contending the convention binds Britain to abandon occupancy and deny dominion, while preserving mutual limitations on future expansions and fortifications.
United States denounces Britain on Mosquito coast protectorate
The document argues that the Mosquito protectorate remains a British dominion over the entire Mosquito coast and insists the 1850 convention binds Britain to withdraw all occupation and dominion. It rejects reliance on London talks in 1849, defends the treaty text, and urged Britain to relinquish Greytown and San Juan. It also highlights Monroe Doctrine backing and Nicaragua’s rightful sovereignty.
