 Jay's Treaty: Submission or Indpendence?
To the French, the treaty did not sound like neutrality, but an alliance with Britain and a violation of former Franco-American treaties, and America shifted from being on the verge of war with Britain to soon being on the verge of war with France.

For three weeks after the arrival of the treaty of peace Jackson lingered at New Orleans, haggling by day with the contractors and merchants whose cotton, blankets, and bacon were yet to be paid for, and enjoying in the evening the festivities planned in his honor by grateful citizens.

This treaty, as Jackson viewed it, was the crowning vindication of the acts which had been called in question; and public sentiment agreed with him.
