Colonist's did not like Jay's Treaty because it sounded like a direct surrender to Britain because Hamilton hand told his British friends that we would be bluffing a lot, so John Jay had no hold on the British. It hurt America more than Britain because America had to continue paying the merchants for the Revolutionary war.

most Americans at the time also didnt like Jay's Treaty because John Jay failed to open up the profitable British West Indies trade to Americans.

Jay's Treaty was so unpopular because it really didn't settle anything between America and Britain and because John Jay failed to open up the profitable British West Indies trade to Americans.

Jay's treaty was to stop Britain from impressing American sailors, but it never resolved that. It did resolve a few problems though.

  • Britain troops to leave forts in Northwest Territory.
  • Solve disputes with debts from the revolutionary war.
  • And deal with some issues dealing with the U.S. / Canadian border.
