Facts
In 1818, the United States and the United Kingdom entered a treaty establishing that US nationals could fish in the British North Atlantic waters and use the bays and harbors for fishing. Years later, the United Kingdom sought to regulate and place additional conditions on the US fishermen. The US stated that the 1818 treaty created a servitude that prevented the United Kingdom from creating regulations that infringed on the rights created.
