Jay's Treaty, officially known as the Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, was an agreement between the United States and Great Britain that sought to resolve issues remaining since the conclusion of the American Revolutionary War. One of the major terms of this treaty, as stated in Article 2, was that the British would remove their soldiers from forts in American territories, which was a provision of the Treaty of Paris that ended the Revolutionary War. This is reflected in option C. This term was significant as it represented a recognition of American sovereignty and territorial integrity by the British.
