Explanation:

1. Newspaper editor (Peter Porcupine)

Supporters thought the treaty helped US - UK relations or was not too favorable to Britain. The editor argues Britain didn't gain many rights, so this is a supporter's view.

Stating the treaty gave US special trading privileges with Britain is a positive view of the treaty (helping US), so this is a supporter.

Burning Jay's effigy and the treaty shows strong disapproval, so this is an opponent's action.

Answer:

Treaty supporter
