Q

french revolution of 1793

A

US stay out because they could lose too much since they traded with both of them. The French and the British then started kidnapping the U.S. sailors on the trading vessels, so they could use the sailors as ransom for money. The British and the Americans then made Jay’s Treaty in 1794 to stop the kidnapping and get the British out of Michigan. The British were not happy because Michigan controlled all the trade on the Great Lakes. The French then declared war on the US.
