Great Britain and US on slave trade and search rights
The discussion notes that no concession on the right of search was made or required, and the 1841 principles remain intact. Britain promises to fulfil engagement against the African slave trade and to provide prompt reparations if losses occur, while not abandoning the right itself. Daniel Webster confirms the ensuing diplomatic steps and possible parliamentary explanations.
