ASHBURTON TREATY

The Ashburton Treaty was a treaty negotiated between Great Britain and the USA by Alexander Baring (Lord Ashburton) and Daniel Webster at Washington in 1842. The Ashburton Treaty adjusted the boundary between the USA and the British possessions on the Northeast, the USA securing just over half of the disputed territory. The mutual extradition of criminals and arrangements for the suppression of the slave trade were stipulated by the treaty.
