This boundary had been in dispute since the British had expanded the territory of the Florida colonies while it was in possession of them. It had moved the boundary from the 31st degree latitude northwards to a line drawn due east from the junction of the Yazoo River and the Mississippi (the present day location of Vicksburg, Mississippi). After the American Revolutionary War, Spain claimed the British border adjustment while the U.S. insisted on the original boundary.
The treaty directed the U.S. and Spain to jointly survey the boundary line. Andrew Ellicott was the U.S. Commissioner for this survey party.
The treaty set the western boundary of the U.S. separating it from the Spanish Colony of Louisiana as the middle of the Mississippi River from the northern boundary of the United States to the 31st degree north latitude. It also guarantees navigation of the entire length of the river for both the U.S. and Spain.
The U.S. and Spain agreed to not incite native tribes to warfare. They also agreed to protect the vessels of the other party anywhere within their jurisdictions and to not detain or embargo the other's citizens or vessels.
The territory ceded by Spain in this treaty was organized by the U.S. into the Mississippi Territory in 1798.
