The first overseas consulate of the fledgling United States was founded in 1790 at [[Consulate of the United States in Liverpool|Liverpool]], England, by [[James Maury (consul)|James Maury Jr.]], who was appointed by Washington. Maury held the post from 1790 to 1829. Liverpool was at the time Britain's leading port for transatlantic commerce and therefore of great economic importance to the former [[Thirteen Colonies]].
The first overseas property owned, and the longest continuously owned, by the United States is the [[American Legation, Tangier|American Legation in Tangier]], which was a gift of the [[Sultan of Morocco]] in 1821. In general during the nineteenth century, the United States' diplomatic activities were done on a minimal budget. The US owned no property abroad and provided no official residences for its foreign envoys, paid them a minimal salary and gave them the rank of ministers rather than ambassadors who represented the Great powers - position which the US only achieved towards the end of the century.<ref name="Loeffler">{{
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the State Department was concerned with expanding commercial ties in Asia, establishing [[Liberia]], foiling [[diplomatic recognition]] of the [[Confederate States of America|Confederacy]] and securing its presence in North America. The Confederacy had diplomatic missions in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, the [[Papal States]], Russia, Mexico and Spain, and consular missions in Ireland, Canada, Cuba, Italy, Bermuda and [[Bahamas|Nassau and New Providence]].<ref>[http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.mss/eadmss.ms003052 Confederate States of America records, 1854-1889 (Library of Congress)]</ref>
