Treaty of Washington
an agreement signed in Washington, D.C. on May
8, 1871 by the United States and Great Britain that provided for both countries
to submit their disputes to arbitration (Tribunal of Arbitration), stipulated
that Britain would pay $37,500,000 as direct indemnity (compensation for
damage), pay for shipping sunk as decided by an Admiralty Court in New
York City, grant to the United States perpetual
rights to navigate the St. Lawrence River through Quebec, and provided
for boundary agreements re the Lake of the Woods and Point Roberts, B.C.
If Canada was really a
confederation
and became a nation in 1867, Britain couldn't have then agreed to this,
as it would have been out of her realm.
Canada's
myth of confederation in
1867 is still taught by those ignorant of the facts, and Canada still celebrates
its 'birthday' every July 1st, calculating its age dating back to 1867,
erroneously
claiming that in 2008 Canada will be 141 years old. Ha! She's not even
born yet!
Canada, not having any
say of her own in affairs affecting her, could say little of any impact
as the US and Britain put any concerns by Canadians on the back burner
by means of this Treaty of Washington, allowing equal navigation of the
St. Lawrence River where it traverses the Province of Quebec; relinquishing
the territories of the Lake of the Woods, Point Roberts and the San Juan
Islands.(northwestern
Washington, at the entrance to Puget Sound. The islands lie to the east
of Vancouver Island, B.C.), and granting equal rights for ten years
to the fisheries. This could not have happened had Canada been a country
on her own, as she would not have been responsible for the things that
occurred the US was demanding reparation
from Britain for..(this
occurred 4 years after Canada'a supposed confederation on July 1, 1867;
the belief that Canada has confederated is contrary to fact, proving some
past to recent government administrations in Canada have been feeding us
fiction)
One major point at issue was an American demand
that Britain pay reparations for Union ships destroyed during the American
Civil War by Confederate raiders built and equipped in England (see Alabama
Claims in an encyclopedia). Also at issue was the San Juan Boundary Dispute
involving rival claims by the two nations to the San Juan islands at the
north end of Puget Sound. The islands could have belonged to either country
because of faulty wording in the treaty that settled the Northwest Boundary
Dispute in 1846. Both points were eventually settled in favor of the U.S.
The treaty also provided for a commission to settle the North Atlantic
fishing dispute; as a result both countries exchanged various fishing,
navigational and customs privileges in North America..Comprised
