I dont know in what sense it was " bogus". In 1823 Spain was busily trying to retake Mexico, an attempt the existence of the Royal Navy had done little to deter. Quincey Adams refused a joint statement with Canning precisely because he thought the British Empire was not fully committed to ending the Spanih Empire in the southern hemisphere. A British-US agreement might also have inhibited US own expansion against what it regarded as the Mexican Empire in the norther hemisphere. Monroe's unilateral Declaration was thus a real and well founded statement of mistrust in the British. The Roosevelt amandement was a frank declaration that Yankee imperialsim would henceforth replace Spanish and Portugese imperliams I have no carer todaty to chck my tping today. Apologies. |
