	Ostend Manifesto - Biocrawler
		The Ostend Manifesto was a secret document written in 1854 by U.S. diplomats at Ostend, Belgium, describing a plan to acquire Cuba from Spain.
		The aggressively worded document, and Soulé's advocacy of slavery, caused outrage among Northerners who felt it was a Southern attempt to extend slavery.
		American free-soilers, just recently stirred with the Fugitive Slave Law passed as part of the Compromise of 1850, decried the "manifesto of brigands." Thus the American scheme to capture Cuba fizzled.

	Franklin Pierce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pierce's popularity in the North went down sharply after he came out in favor of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, repealing the Missouri Compromise and reopening the question of the expansion of slavery in the West.
		Pierce's credibility was further damaged when several of his foreign ministers issued the Ostend Manifesto.
		The release of the Ostend Manifesto, signed by several of Pierce's cabinet members, caused outrage with its suggestion that the U.S. seize Cuba by force, and permanently discredited the Democratic Party's expansionist policies, which it had so famously rode to victory in 1844.
