==== Latin America ==== Aside from an unsuccessful attempt to purchase [[Mexican Texas|Texas]] from Mexico, President Adams did not seek to expand into [[Latin America]] or North America.<ref>{{harvnb|Cooper|2017|pages=240β241}}</ref> Adams and Clay instead sought engagement with Latin America to prevent it from falling under the British Empire's economic influence.<ref name="Howe 2007 257">{{harvnb|Howe|2007|page=257}}</ref> As part of this goal, the administration favored sending a United States delegation to the [[Congress of Panama]], an 1826 conference of New World republics organized by [[SimΓ³n BolΓvar]].<ref name="Kaplan 2014 pages=401β402">{{harvnb|Kaplan|2014|pages=401β402}}</ref> Clay and Adams hoped that the conference would inaugurate a "[[Good Neighbor policy|Good Neighborhood Policy]]" among the independent states of the Americas.<ref name="Remini 2002 pages=82β83">{{harvnb|Remini|2002|pages=82β83}}</ref> However, the funding for a delegation and the confirmation of delegation nominees became entangled in a political battle over Adams's domestic policies, with opponents such as Van Buren impeding the confirmation of a delegation.<ref name="Kaplan 2014 pages=404β405"/> While Van Buren saw the Panama Congress as an unwelcome deviation from the more [[United States non-interventionism|isolationist]] foreign policy established by President Washington,<ref name="Remini 2002 pages=82β83"/> many Southerners opposed involvement with any conference attended by delegates from [[Haiti]], a republic that had been established through a [[Haitian Revolution|slave revolt]].<ref>{{harvnb|Cooper|2017|page=229}}</ref> Though the United States delegation finally won confirmation from the Senate, it never reached the Congress of Panama due to the Senate's delay.<ref>{{harvnb|Kaplan|2014|pages=408β410}}</ref>
