It Was Created To Transmit A Presidential Message From James Madison And A Formal Report From The Acting Secretary Of State To The Senate In Response To A Resolution Adopted In October 1814. The Resolution Requested Documentary Proof That British Forces Had Removed Enslaved People From The United States And Sold Them In The West Indies During The War. The Contents Include Madison’s Transmittal Letter, The State Department Report, And Copies Of Correspondence And Statements From Virginia Officials Describing An Affidavit That Alleged Such Sales Occurred, While Also Explaining That The Original Affidavit Could Not Be Located At The Time Of Reporting. The Document Reflects An Active Congressional Inquiry Into Wartime British Conduct At The Moment Hostilities Were Ending, And It Shows How Issues Of Enslavement, Property Claims, And Diplomatic Accountability Remained Unresolved As The War Of 1812 Came To A Close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Poor Antique Condition\u003c\/em\u003e - Significant Fold Wear, Creasing, Staining, Paper Loss, Pencil Writing On Cover, Paper Toning Due To Age And History-Collectors Watermarked That Is Not On The Pamphlet. 8 Pages And Closed Measures Approx. 5\" Wide by 8-1\/4\" Tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eProduct Photos Include\u003c\/em\u003e A Watermark And Possibly An Object For Scale \/ Photography Purposes Only.
