Joseph J. Ellis in Founding Brothers Jay’s Treaty was “a shrewd bargain for the United States. It bet, in effect, on England rather than France as the hegemonic European power of the future, which proved prophetic.

Mostly, it postponed war with England until America was economically and politically more capable of fighting one.”
