I have also negotiated a settlement with England to decide the border between the western Unites States and Canada. This is known as the Treaty of 1818. Another treaty I helped resolve was the Rush-Bagot Treaty of 1817. This is where the boundary between British North America and the United States along the 49th parallel where the Rocky Mountains were settled. This was caused by ignorance of actual geography in the boundary agreed to in the 1783 Treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolutionary War. That earlier treaty had used the Mississippi River to determine the border, but assumed that the river extended further north than it did, and so that earlier settlement was unworkable. All of these treaties helped keep the peace between countries without war breaking out; it settled boundary disputes and helped the U.S. gain power in the world. All of these things are interests that the United States needs to keep during your term as the secretary of
