Detailed explanation-1: -In the treaty Britain, conceding to primary American grievances, agreed to evacuate the Northwest Territory by June 1, 1796; to compensate for its depredations against American shipping; to end discrimination against American commerce; and to grant the U.S. trading privileges in England and the British East Indies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The treaty was “surprisingly generous” in allowing Americans to trade with Great Britain on a most-favored-nation basis. In return, the United States gave most favored nation trading status to Britain, and acquiesced in British anti-French maritime policies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Formally titled the “Treaty of Amity Commerce and Navigation between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, ” but more popularly known as the Jay Treaty, the document was officially ratified by President George Washington in August 1795.
Detailed explanation-4: -One major effect of Jay’s Treaty was that it granted most-favored-nation status to Great Britain, which in turn, promised Great Britain that it would not trade with its enemies in times of war. This stipulation in Jay’s Treaty ultimately helped bring about the War of 1812.
