| Summary | "The Oregon Question" by Albert Gallatin is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work addresses the territorial dispute between the United States and Great Britain over the Oregon Territory, outlining the claims and arguments of both sides. The text delves into the complexities of diplomatic negotiations, historical treaties, and the legal basis for sovereignty, making it a crucial exploration of American expansionism during this period. The opening of the book establishes the groundwork for this intricate discussion, highlighting Gallatin’s role in gathering and analyzing information about the Oregon claims. He discusses the importance of various historical documents, voyages, and treaties that have shaped the rights to the territory, emphasizing the necessity of understanding the past to navigate the present disputes. Gallatin addresses the public sentiment clouding the issue and critiques both governments' positions, suggesting that a peaceful resolution is increasingly difficult amidst rising tensions. This introduction sets the stage for a thorough examination of the Oregon Question, revealing the stakes involved and the need for careful diplomatic management.
