It averted threatened war, solved many issues left over from the American Revolution, and opened ten years of peaceful trade in the midst of the wars of the [[French Revolution]]. It was hotly denounced by the [[Jeffersonian Republicans]] as too pro-British, but passed Congress  and became a central issue in the formation of the [[First Party System]]. Signed in November 1794, ratified and put into effect in 1795, it was a major success for early American diplomacy.
