Abstract

As the title of this thesis will indicate, the writer has attempted to give an estimate of the historical importance of the Pan-American Conference in the nineteenth century. While many writers do not consider the Panama Congress of 1826 as a Pan-American assembly, it is considered so in this thesis for two reasons: first, because it was from this movement that the fundamental idea of the Pan American movement began, and second, because, while the United States was not actually represented, our delegates were commissioned and failed to attend only because of impossible conditions of travel.
