would become maine. it would also mean no american military power on the great lakes. we can t agree to this. and so after two months of negotiations going nowhere great britain is going to quietly drop it as well. they re going to abandon their native american allies in october. so than the british say ok, we are not going to create a buffer zone, but now the negotiate treaty means whenever anybody held at the end of the war, they keep. bad for us, because we have not seized any part of canada. good for great britain because they have this whole part of maine, and they have these forts along the niagara river and up here at the michigan territory. we say no, nothing doing. not going to work. they re going to drop back in november. august, september, october november. four months, no negotiations, no compromises. finally, the last big issue is british navigation of the mississippi river and american use of the fisheries off new england and newfoundland. american and british n
