[edit] NPOV

"Instead, Jay signed an agreement that ignored the problem of the Mississippi in exchange for commercial advantages benefiting the Northeast"

The Fact is that Jay got New Orleans and the Spanish Carribean opened to US Trade, which is what he was sent to do, though there has been much bias against the treaty since (Mostly by US Southerners)

[edit] POV tag

This article is clearly written from an American perspective, listing U.S. complaints, but ignoring any issues that may have concerned Britain or Spain. Please balance it out if you have more information. Honbicot 02:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
