nov 19, 1794 - Jay's Treaty

Description:

Jay's Treaty, negotiated between the United States and Great Britain and named after Chief Justice John Jay, aimed to resolve lingering issues from the Revolutionary War and prevent further conflicts. While the treaty succeeded in averting war, facilitating some trade agreements, and securing British withdrawal from western forts, it was highly controversial and criticized for its perceived concessions to Britain and failure to address issues like the impressment of American sailors.
