sep 3, 1783 - Treaty of Paris

Description:

The British and Americans reached a final settlement “The Treaty of Paris” on September 3, 1783. It was, on the whole, remarkably favorable to the United States in granting a clear-cut recognition of its independence and a cession of territory, from the southern boundary of Canada to the northern boundary of Florida and from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. Americans celebrated in the fall of 1783 as the last of the British occupation forces embarked from New York and General Washington, at the head of his troops, rode triumphantly into the city.
