The Clayton - Bulwer Treaty was negotiated in 1850 by John M. Clayton and Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer to build the Nicaragua Canal that would connect the Pacific and the Atlantic. It was a treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom. One of the essential points of the treaty was not to obtain or maintain exclusive control of the canal. However, there were disagreements because of the United Kingdom's control of territories surrounding the Nicaragua Canal. The United States wants the canal to be open to all nations equally thus, giving birth to Hay-Pauncefote Treaty that nullified the first treaty. It was signed by US Secretary of State (to answer the question) John Hay and British Ambassador to the United States Lord Pauncefote on the 18th of November 1901.
Answer:
Transcendentalism is an American literary, political, and philosophical movement of the early nineteenth century, centered around Ralph Waldo Emerson. Other important transcendentalists were Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Amos Bronson Alcott, Frederic Henry Hedge, and Theodore Parker. Stimulated by English and German Romanticism, the Biblical criticism of Herder and Schleiermacher, and the skepticism of Hume, the transcendentalists operated with the sense that a new era was at hand. They were critics of their contemporary society for its unthinking conformity, and urged that each person find, in Emerson's words, “an original relation to the universe” (O, 3). Emerson and Thoreau sought this relation in solitude amidst nature, and in their writing. By the 1840s they, along with other transcendentalists, were engaged in the social experiments of Brook Farm, Fruitlands, and Walden; and, by the 1850s in an increasingly urgent critique of American slavery.
