October 1859 CE

U.S. President James Buchanan has sent General Winfield Scott to negotiate with Governor Douglas and resolve the growing crisis.

Scott, who had calmed two other border crises between the two nations in the late 1830s, arrives in the San Juans in October and begins negotiations with Douglas.

As a result of the negotiations, both sides agreed to retain joint military occupation of the island until a final settlement can be reached, reducing their presence to a token force of no more than one hundred men.
