The Webster-Ashburton Treaty of August 9, 1842 ended the Aroostook War. The boundary dispute has gone down in history as a war because of the arming and marching of troops. Each side may have rounded up troops anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 strong. But the only known casualties were 38 non combat deaths among troops of the United States of America and 17 among those of the British Empire and of British North America [Canada].
The dispute was over the boundary between Maine and the Canadian province of New Brunswick. It was actually due to some unfinished business from the Treaty of Paris of September 3, 1783 to end the American Revolutionary War. Tensions ran high, particularly during the year 1838-1839. But the concerned governments quickly stepped in, to resolve things as peacefully as possible.
There were two turning points. One involved the diplomatic efforts of Daniel Webster [January 18, 1782-October 24, 1852] for the Americans; and of Alexander Baring, 1st Baron Ashburton [October 27, 1774-May 13, 1848] for the British and Canadians. The other was the discovery of a long ago map from archives in Paris, France. Supposedly, the boundary issue had been resolved during the ending years of the American Revolution. On that map, Benjamin Franklin [January 17, 1706-April 17, 1790] had drawn in red indications that supported the claims of the British Empire and of British North America.
