Likewise, many a French official has underscored the unwavering and “natural” quality of the commitment between France and the United States (De Gaulle 1965; Mitterrand 1984; Macron 2018). Yet political scientists and historians often point to the cyclical nature of French-American relations (Duroselle 1978; Bozo and Parmentier 2007: 545).

Consider it an introduction to the era review. The British let the colonists have a great deal of economic and political independence under a policy called Salutary Neglect. This practice ended after the French and Indian War which resulted from the British challenging France for possession of North America, of 1754-1763. The French and Indian War was one of most important events of the 18th century which decisively shaped American history, hastening independence and stirring a spirit of revenge among the French which further hastened the break with England. Therefore, the American Revolution essentially began in 1763 even though the shot heard round the world didn’t occur until 1775.

NATIVE AMERICAN FREE PASSAGE RIGHTS UNDER THE 1794 JAY TREATY: SURVIVAL UNDER UNITED STATES STATUTORY LAW AND CANADIAN COMMON LAW BRYAN NICKELS* Abstract: Since 1794, Native American groups in both the United States (U.S.) and Canada have enjoyed the right of "free passage" across the U.S.-Canadian border per the provisions of the Jay Treaty. However, development and recognition of this right have taken decidedly different courses: while the U.S. has treated the right very liberally under statutory codification, the Canadian government has opted to develop, and restrict, the right under their courts' common law.

  • The Indispensable Mr. Jay and George Washington's
    THE INDISPENSABLE MR. JAY AND GEORGE WASHINGTON’S VALEDICTORY For nearly a quarter of a century, John Jay proved himself indispensable to the cause of American liberty and the establishment of the United State of America. The positions that Jay held were so numerous they consumed an entire page when he took the time to write a partial history of his career as a public officiali. The more notable positions held by Jay were that of president of the Continental Congress, first Chief Justice of the State of New York during which period he served on a committee to draft the state‘s first constitution which provided for a bicameral legislature that would ultimately be included in the U.S. Constitution. In a letter to Robert R. Livingston and Gouveneur Morris he regretted that the issue of slavery had not been dealt with in the state constitution, “I should also have been for a clause against the continuation of domestic slavery. “ii Jay was also Minister Plenipotentiary to Spain during the Revolutionary War and he worked for Spain‘s support and financial assistance for the American cause. He was key to the negotiations as Peace Commissioner to the Treaty of Paris and Minister of Foreign Affairs under the Articles of Confederation. He co-authored THE FEDERALIST with Alexander Hamilton and James Madison and their efforts led to the ratification of the Constitution in New York state. In support of the ratification efforts in New York State, Jay also wrote a pamphlet entitled AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK.
