d) A greater divide within the nation

Though the Jay Treaty (Nov. 19, 1794) maintained peace between the U.S. and Britain while preserving U.S. neutrality regarding the conflict with Britain and France in 1793, it was also harshly criticized for addressing only few U.S. interests, and granting Britain additional rights.

Before the treaty was signed, Americans were suffering from abuses from Britain even though they had recently won their independence in the Revolutionary War (1775-83). American exports were blocked, British occupated northern forts that they had agreed to vacate in the Treaty of Paris (1783), and also attacked Native Americans there, seized some American naval and military supplies, etc.

People expected a treaty that would bring more justice to American. Instead, it conceded that the British could seize U.S. goods bound for France if they paid for them and could confiscate without payment French goods on American ships. As for Americans interests, the treaty only accomplished to vacate Britain of the northwestern posts and to enhance commercial relationships to a certain extent.

The Jay Treaty negotiated in 1794 caused a greater divide within the nation.

Further Explanation:-

The Jay's treaty averted the war and resolved issues between these two countries which were remaining unsolved since the treaty of Paris and this treaty opened the gates for 10 years of trade which was peaceful between these two nations even in the middle of the French Revolution that took place in the year 1792. Alexander Hamilton was the one who designed this treaty and he got support from President of United States George Washington. France was angered by this treaty and also created division among Americans. This treaty intensified the growth of two parties that were in opposition in every state of the United States and these groups were called Pro-Treaty Federalists and Anti-Treaty republicans. If we talk about national politics the treaty created division between factions of Jefferson and Madison. Alexander Hamilton led the Federalists as he saw Britain as a natural ally to the United States and wanted to bring normalcy between the United States and Britain and especially in the area of trade.
