Kentucky diplomat Elijah Hise had signed an earlier treaty not recognized by the U.S. that led to a dispute over Mosquitia and Tigre Island. One possibility proposed in Article 8 of this treaty was the construction of a railway by way of Tehuántepec. Signed by Taylor's Secretary of State, it was criticized as a violation of the Monroe Doctrine. The U.S. sought control over the San Juan River, and Lord Palmerston conceded, leading to a 50-year treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of the U.S. and Britain. For 10 points, name this 1850 treaty, abrog
