text_A: Van Buren was privately prepared to go to war over the disputed territory, but he had assured Maine that he was unwilling to respond to any attacks by the British. To settle the crisis, Van Buren met with the British minister to the United States, and Van Buren and the minister agreed to resolve the border issue diplomatically. Van Buren also sent General Scott to the northern border area, both to show military resolve, and more importantly, to lower the tensions. Scott successfully convinced all sides to submit the border issue to arbitration. The border dispute was put to rest a few years later, with the signing of the 1842 Webster–Ashburton Treaty.
text_B: Could historians make the case that Van Buren was deceptive in his dealings with the Maine territory during this time?
NO.
