Question 15

What was the Jay Treaty, and why were Americans generally opposed to it?

Accepted Answer

Answer would ideally include:
Jay Treaty: The Jay Treaty was negotiated by John Jay with the British to answer questions about American commercial relations with the British West Indies and to secure compensation for the seizure of American ships. It granted the British eighteen months to withdraw from the frontier forts, continued rights in the fur trade, and called for repayment with interest of the debts that some American planters still owed to British firms dating from the Revolutionary War. In exchange for these terms, Jay secured limited trading rights in the West Indies and agreement that some of the other issues-boundary disputes with Canada and the damage and loss claims of ship owners-would be decided later by an arbitration commission.
American Opposition: Many Americans were dissatisfied with the treaty Jay enacted because it failed to address many issues. Jay was supposed to negotiate on behalf of southern planters who wanted reimbursement for the slaves lured away by the British army during the Revolutionary War, and on behalf of western settlers who wanted England to vacate the frontier forts they still occupied. The Jay Treaty also ultimately failed to address the issues of captured cargoes or the lost property in slaves.
