The United States pursued the Pinckney Treaty of 1795 primarily to secure access to the Mississippi River and the port of New Orleans, which were vital for trade and transportation of goods. The treaty, negotiated with Spain, aimed to resolve territorial disputes and ensure safe passage for American merchants. Additionally, it sought to establish friendly relations with Spain and bolster American expansion westward. The agreement helped solidify the U.S. position in the region and eased tensions between the two nations.
