Why?
Why is this even important and how did this impact the United States?
The Federalists tended to favor Britain while the Republicans favored France. This indecision was salutary for the nation's commerce, however, since the declaration established free trade, and the restrictions of the old mercantilist system evaporated. As a neutral country the United States could claim trade with all countries, including Britain and France, and for the most part American ships were welcomed with open arms. American ships carried commodities from all over the world and distributed European manufactures in ports all over the world. Freight earnings boomed. In 1792, American shippers earned about $7.2 million. By 1796 these earnings had tripled to $21.6 million and eventually peaked at $42.1 million in 1807
