Oregon War Threats and Wool Tariff Debate in 1843
The Huron Reflector discusses potential conflict with Great Britain over Oregon after Mr McLane in London failed to secure instructions. It argues Britain will not yield north of the 49th parallel, notes the likelihood of a Pacific coast war, and suggests a possible compromise if the US shows moderation. The column also critiques the Experiment’s wool tariff claim, questioning why imported wool under seven cents would not undercut American wool and exposing flaws in proposed tariff increases.
