The Treaty of San Lorenzo, also known as Pinckney's Treaty, was signed on October 27, 1795 between Spain and the US. The treaty resolved disputes about territory between the two countries and granted American ships free navigation of the Mississippi River as well as duty-free transport through the port of New Orleans, which was under Spanish control at the time.
Pinckney's Treaty
Pickney's Treaty was significant to the US because it granted America access through the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans. The treaty went into effect on October 27, 1795.
Spain, which held most of the territory west of the Mississippi River, refused to acknowledge America's westernmost boundary as the Mississippi where the Treaty of Paris had set it. Spain also denied the U.S. the "right of deposit" at New Orleans, which was also in Spanish possession. A right of deposit allows one nation to temporarily store goods on foreign soil without exorbitant fees. Both of those issues inhibited American trade on the Mississippi.
