Washington sent an ambassador to Spain. He was Thomas Pinckney. Pinckney asked to reopen the New Orleans trade so America could have the right to trade there.
Because Spain worried that the Americans were working with the Britain the minister Manuel de Godoy wanted to delay the agreement.
Pinckney's Treaty was made to settle problems of trade with Spain.

After 1794 there were fights breaking out about the taxes. Some protesters didn't even want to pay the tax and didn't. They harassed the tax collector and people started to call them the new Sons of Liberty.

Jay's treated was made. This settled problems between Britain and the U.S that were made in the early 1790s. Then Britain payed for the damages made on the American ships and America payed debts that they owed.
But the treated also made people protest and they thought that the treaty didn't punish Britain enough for what they did. And Washington was also against the treaty, but thought it was the only thing to do.
