Oregon Trade and Baroness Bargain in Calhoun Plan
In a tense political drama, Gen. John Calhoun maneuvers with the Baroness von Ritz and Senora Yturrio over Oregon and Texas annexation. A key slipper, notes, and a secret pledge reshape alliances as a treaty bearing Pakenham’s signature hints at a compromise on Oregon while American war with Mexico looms. The scene ends with the Baroness presenting a pivotal document and Calhoun declaring Oregon bought and paid for.
