The Latin American republics, formerly Spanish colonies, convened a congress in Panama to promote relations in the western hemisphere. John Q. Adams wanted to send delegates but southern congressmen objected because the Latin American countries had outlawed slavery. They also did not want white Americans to mix, on the same level, with foreigners of other races.
