The Jay Treaty, signed in 1794, was an agreement between Great Britain and the United States intended to resolve issues remaining from the Revolutionary War. It aimed to settle conflicts regarding trade, the British military presence in the Northwest Territory, and the compensation for American ship owners whose vessels had been seized by the British. The treaty helped prevent a potential war, facilitated peaceful trade, and established a process for resolving issues between the two nations. While other treaties like the Treaty of Paris and the Treaty of Ghent also involved Great Britain and the United States, they were aimed at different contexts: the Treaty of Paris ended the Revolutionary War, and the Treaty of Ghent concluded the War of 1812. The Gadsden Purchase, on the other hand, involved land acquisition from Mexico and is not relevant in this context.
