Jay–Gardoqui Treaty

1786 proposed treaty between the US and Spain

The Jay–Gardoqui Treaty was a proposed 1786 treaty between the United States and Spain that was not ratified. It would have guaranteed Spanish exclusive right to navigate the Mississippi River for 25 years. It also opened Spain's European and West Indian ports to American shipping. However, the Treaty was opposed by Virginia leaders James Madison and James Monroe who secured its rejection by the Continental Congress.
