Ostend Manifesto
granted freedom of speech and assembly created an elected legislature
The October Manifesto, issued by Tsar Nicholas II in 1905, aimed to address widespread discontent and demands for reform in Russia. It promised civil liberties, such as freedom of speech, assembly, and association, and established the Duma, a legislative assembly with limited powers. The manifesto sought to quell revolutionary unrest by granting some political concessions while maintaining autocratic rule. However, many viewed it as insufficient, leading to continued unrest and dissatisfaction among various social groups.
The Southern Manifesto was a document written in 1956 by legislators in the United States Congress opposed to racial integration in public places. It was signed by 96 Democratic politicians from the former Confederate States - Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

The Pierce administration's schemes to acquire Cuba
The Ostend Manifesto failed because it proposed that the U.S. purchase Cuba from Spain, which was seen as aggressive and expansionist by many, including antislavery groups who feared it would lead to the spread of slavery. The public outcry and international opposition to the Manifesto led the U.S. government to abandon the idea.
When the people of the United States heard about the Ostend Manifesto they were angered. This hurt President Pierce's chances at presidency. This also helped splinter the Democratic Party.
The North opposed the Ostend Manifesto, viewing it as an attempt to expand slavery into new territories and potentially lead to war with Spain. They saw it as a Southern effort to gain more slave-holding states and increase their influence in Congress. The Manifesto was widely criticized and ultimately abandoned due to strong backlash and opposition.
