What is Jay's Treaty?
Jay's Treaty is an agreement between America and Britain that allowed the U.S. to eventually build a stronger economy. Britain complied by saying they would withdraw from the Northwest Territory. Also, both of the countries were granted access to the Mississippi River. Nevertheless, boundaries between America and the British were established in the Northeast and Northwest. The treaty had been ratified by both America and Great Britain by February of 1796.
