Speech on Belize and Central America borders in 1853
John M Clayton argues against Guatemala claiming Belize, citing British maps and treaties. He disputes committee findings, cites Humboldt and Alcedo authorities, and defends the Belize settlement as British, not Guatemalan, urging U.S. support for Central American rights and a broader interoceanic canal policy.
