Question

Describe Jays treaty, the pinckney treaty and the treaty of ghent. 

Answer 1

Jay's Treaty was between the US and Great Britain that is claimed to helping avoid war, resolving issues and leading to 10 years of peaceful trading between the two countries. The treaty requested the removal of British troops from pre-Revolutionary War forts, Some Americans were not happy with this idea because they feared it would help foster aristocracy. After the ten years, the Pinkney Treaty that would continue the agreement was rejected by Jefferson leading the way for the War of 1812. The major point of the Monroe-Pinkney Treaty was to get Britain to quit impressing Americans into serving in the Royal Navy during the French war. The British didn't concede because they felt it was less offensive to tell the Americans no than loose to the French. The two countries went to war in 1812 to 1814. The Treaty of Ghent in Belgium was sign 12-24-1814 to end the war. It did not declare either country a winner. Both countries would get back their lands lost during the war, Americans would get back their POWs, and their slaves .
