Calhoun Exacts Oregon Texas Annexation Plot And Baroness Pact
John Calthoun becomes secretary of state in Tyler's cabinet with plans to seize Texas and Oregon. Nicholas Trist navigates espionage with Baroness von Ritz, aiding her escape and learning England’s Mexico intents. Trist’s marriage plans derail after a slipper mistake, baroness’s note triggers annexation moves, and Oregon shifts unfold. The baroness bargains for Oregon border terms, Pakenham negotiates, and the treaty is signed before Nicholas is dismissed, though Senate later ratifies peace with Mexico.
