John Jay, on behalf of the United States, signs the Jay Treaty with Great Britain in London, on November 19, 1794, resolving disputes, easing tensions and avoiding war between the two countries.
The Treaty, officially the "Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation" was intended to resolve post-Revolutionary War issues like British forts in the Northwest, U.S. debt repayment, and trade disputes, ultimately preventing war but was very unpopular at home.
