and replaced it with a republican government ( sort of what the U.S. just had done)
Neutrality Proclamation- stated that the U.S. would remain neutral toward all nations at war in
Europe.
Privateers- private ships authorized by a nation (this case France) to attack its enemies
Citizen Genet- France’s new minister (representative) to the U.S. who persuaded several
American sea captains to command privateers
John Jay- Chief Justice who was sent to Britain to negotiate a peaceful resolution with them
Jay’s Treaty- Britain agreed to pay damages to U.S. ships that they had seized, to abandon their
forts on the western frontier, and to allow small American merchant ships to continue trading
certain items in the Caribbean, and the U.S. would promise to pay debts it owed to British
merchants before the Revolutionary war. Congress did not like this treaty but passed it because
Washington urged them to thinking it was the best they could do.
Right of Deposit- allows American boats to transfer their goods at New Orleans without paying
fees on their cargo
Pinckney’s Treaty- Spain agreed to change the Florida border, to reopen the port at New
Orleans to U. S. shipping and to provide right of deposit. Congress thought this was a great
success.
