The Panama Congress was called by the Spanish-American Republics in 1826. The United States sent delegates too late for the preliminary meeting and the adjourned congress for 1827 never occurred. Among the objects of the proposed congress interesting to the United States were: The establishment of liberal doctrines of commercial intercourse; assent to the doctrine that free ships make free goods, and an agreement that 'each will guard against the establishment of any future European colony within its. Borders'. The failure of the Congress showed that an alliance between the United States and the smaller Republics was inadvisable. President John Quincy Adams was warmly in favour of the proposed meeting, but Congress did not favour it. Research Panama Congress
