Issued as Doc. no. 25, 19th Congress, 2nd Session. A brief, one page report stating that negotiations with Mexico are in process, but declining to state the details. The issue surrounded "ascertaining and running of the boundary line between that Government and the United States" and "whether any measures have been taken ... to obtain the runaway negro slaves from Louisiana and elsewhere, which have taken refuge in the territories of that government." The Underground Railroad is most often associated with escape to the North, but another route to freedom ran south to Mexico, where an estimated 5-10,000 people escaped. (Hammock, South of Slavery). The United States tried to establish a treaty similar to the Fugitive Slave Act with Mexico, but Mexico refused, and treated anyone who made it to the country as free.
