Jay's Treaty

Today in 1794 Jay's Treaty, which was named after New York's famous John Jay, was signed.  In it the British had to evacuate Fort Oswegatchie, formerly called Fort la Presentation by June 1, 1796.  After the American Revolution British forces remained on the frontier even though by treaty they were to have evacuated the colonies.  Jay's Treaty was written to remedy this problem, but was hated by Americans in general.  To learn more check out this link.
