Treaty between Great Britain and the Republic of Texas for the suppression of African Slave Trade

Description:
Historical Note: In the fall of 1838, President Sam Houston sent James Pinckney Henderson abroad to seek recognition of Texas by England and France. England had just settled the Maine boundary issue with the United States but faced hostilities over her claims in Oregon and the controversial Pacific Northwest boundary. In the fall of 1840, Lord Aberdeen announced that Her Majesty's government would recognize Texas independence, and on November 13-16, three treaties were signed that dealt with independence, commerce and navigation, and suppression of the African slave trade. The treaty between Great Britain and the Republic of Texas for the suppression of African slave trade was signed on November 16, 1840.
