Filibustering!

This is coolbert:

Those filibuster mercenary armies of the gringo, specifically those as organized, trained, commanded and led into battle by the famous/infamous William Walker, were inextricably linked to the American pro-slavery movement of the "deep South".

Those leading personages of those American states that became the Confederacy advocated filibustering as a means of establishing sovereign enclaves in Latin [Spanish speaking ] America dominated by a small minority of English speakers - - the purpose of which was to create conditions favorable to the expansion of slavery, or a replication of the Spanish already-existing hacienda system! So it would seem.

The link between the filibuster and those desirous to see the spread of North American slavery is very strong?

A land-owning "aristocracy" whose wealth would be measured in the amount of acreage given over to plantations producing a cash crop, ranches raising cattle, mining or other industrial operations of some sort, that "aristocracy" dependent upon a large work force of slaves or highly compliant and very inexpensive peon menial labor!

Historians have made the same observation as I have done - - the filibuster was intrinsically and inextricably linked to the pro-slavery movement, the further expansion of American slavery limited to an extent by the Missouri Compromise?

Southern "aristocrats", Southern "partisans" and the like, even BEFORE the American Civil War did see military action as a means and a method to maintain the status quo, even beyond the borders of the United States?

The study of filibustering and the pro-slavery moment is an item worthy of a PhD thesis? Perhaps this has already been done?
