Untitled[edit]

I'm going to try to get a link to the text of this treaty - Pingveno 00:17, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)

I got a link, but the layout is miserable on the external site. I'm just going to leave it for now, but I might put the text of the treaty directly on Wikipedia. -Pingveno 00:34, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Several weeks?[edit]

The article says, "The treaty was presented to the United States Senate on February 26, 1796 and after several weeks of debate was ratified on March 7, 1796."

There are not several weeks in between Feb 26 and March 7. There aren't even two. Maybe it should say several days? Or maybe the debate started before the treaty was presented to the United States? I don't know. Memento Morty (talk) 16:13, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I fixed it. Rjensen (talk) 16:22, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
