The treaty that addressed the issue of the British forts that remained in the West after the American Revolution is the Jay Treaty. The Jay Treaty, also known as Jay's Treaty, was negotiated by John Jay and signed in 1794 between the United States and Great Britain. It sought to settle outstanding issues between the two countries that had been left unresolved since American independence. Under the terms of the treaty, the British agreed to evacuate the forts in the Northwest Territory, which they had continued to occupy, and the United States, in return, granted favorable trade terms to the British.
