The compromise on the Maine boundary arose from escalating tensions between Britain and the United States over territorial claims in the northeastern region. The issue was partly resolved during the Aroostook War, which involved local militias and informal conflict rather than formal military engagement. To avoid further escalation, the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 was negotiated, establishing the current boundary and addressing other disputes. This treaty reflected both nations' desire for peaceful relations and stability in North America.
