W artykule zostały przeanalizowane nabrzmiałe konflikty w anglo-amerykańskich relacjach dotyczących kwestii niewolnictwa i praw morskich w okresie od 1831 do 1842 r. Są one oparte na analizie monografii, raportów, postanowień traktatowych oraz korespondencji amerykańskich i brytyjskich dyplomatów od momentu tzw. incydentu Kormeta (Cormet) w 1831 r. do podpisania traktatu Webstera–Ashburtona w 1842 r. W artykule zostały poruszone trzy najważniejsze sprawy, mianowicie kwestie statków: Kormeta, Encomium, Enterprise, Hermosa i Kreola jako międzynarodowych problemów w relacjach brytyjsko-amerykańskich, poglądy obu państw na kwestię zniesienia niewolnictwa, prawa morskie, jak również dyskusja na temat tego, jak rozwiązać powstałe konflikty morskie, które związane były bezpośrednio z kwestią przewożenia niewolników. W artykule ukazano, że przewóz niewolników na amerykańskich statkach stał się powodem do podjęcia nadzwyczajnych przedsięwzięć, które nie miały miejsca w dotychczasowych bilateralnych stosunkach. Gdy po raz pierwszy amerykańskie statki z niewolnikami dopłynęły do brytyjskich kolonii z uwagi na złe warunki pogodowe i bunt niewolników na pokładzie, to z uwagi na to, że do tej pory ani USA, ani Wielka Brytania nie miały do czynienia z podobnymi przypadkami, w efekcie żadnej ze stron nie udało się znaleźć jednolitego poglądu. Dopiero pod presją sporu granicznego dotyczącego Maine i Nowego Brunszwiku podjęto rozwiązania, które uchroniły oba kraje przed rozpoczęciem konfliktu zbrojnego. Podjęto tymczasowe rozwiązania dotyczące niewolników i praw morskich, ale sprawy międzynarodowe związane z amerykańskimi statkami przewożącymi niewolników przyczyniły się do otworzenia drogi regulującej prawa morskie w stosunkach brytyjsko-amerykańskich. Była to nagląca potrzeba.
