Under Jay's Treaty, signed in 1794, Great Britain agreed to evacuate its forts in the Northwest Territory, which had been a point of contention following the American Revolutionary War. Additionally, the treaty sought to resolve issues related to trade and shipping, establishing a framework for economic relations between the U.S. and Britain. Although it did not address impressment of American sailors, it helped to ease tensions and maintain peace between the two nations. The treaty ultimately aimed to strengthen U.S.-British relations and promote trade.
