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.

Additionally, those lost in the wilderness could return to civilization by traveling downstream, where the major centers of human population tend to concentrate.
