What measures did US President Jefferson take to avoid a war with England over its impressment tactics?
ChuckSiata
President Jefferson wanted to avoid war with England, despite its constant impressment sea going tactics. He resorted to two alternatives to war that were unwise to say the least. He had the Navy call for the construction of small, inexpensive gunboats to avoid having to rebuild the USA's navy. As a second measure he tried to pressure the British by threatening to cut off trade between the two nations. None of these actions would prevent what would be known as the War of 1812.

Was jay's treaty a success or failure?
Jay was sent to England to appeal for peace between the two nations, and to get England to agree to stop impressment of American sailors. The British made few concessions. They agreed to evacuate the western forts, that they had already agreed to leave, and to some compensation for ships seized in the West Indies. The treaty seemed only to be benefiting wealthy merchants. Nothing was said about impressment. When the treaty was presented to the Senate, President Washington was attacked personally for the first time in his administration. Jefferson's supporters disliked the treaty. This was the beginning of the emergence of two parties, Jefferson's Democratic Republicans and Adams' and Hamilton's Federalist Party.
