Treaty of New York, 1790

The 1790 Treaty of New York, between George Washington's constitutional government and representatives of the Creek and Seminole Nations is most notable for its inclusion of agreements known only to certain parties. The treaty effectively ended the Spanish monopoly of trade with the Creeks and limited British influence on the southwestern frontier and also ended efforts by the state of Georgia to act unilaterally and separately with the various tribes within and adjacent to its territory. A portion of the original treaty is shown here.
