Both sides achieved many objectives. The British agreed to vacate the six western forts by June 1796 (which was done), and to compensate American ship owners (the British paid $10,345,200 by 1802).<ref>Wayne S. Cole, ''An Interpretive History of American Foreign Relations,'' (1974) P. 55.</ref> In return, the Americans gave "most favored nation" trading status to the British, and acquiesced in British anti-French maritime policies. The United States guaranteed the payment of private prewar debts owed by Americans to British merchants that could not be collected in U.S. courts (the U.S. paid £600,000 in 1802). Two joint boundary commissions were set up to establish correctly the boundary line in the northeast (it agreed on the Saint Croix River) and in the northwest (this one never met). Jay, a strong opponent of slavery, dropped the issue of compensation for slaves, which angered Southern slaveowners. Jay was unsuccessful in negotiating an end to the [[impressment]] of American sailors into the Royal Navy, which later became one of the key issues that led to the [[War of 1812]]. Article III declared the right of Indians to trade and travel between the United States and British Canada.
