sep 3, 1783 - Treaty of Paris Signed
Description:
The Americans were able to write favorable terms in The Treaty of Paris since they won the war. The Treaty of Paris was responsible for ending the Revolutionary War and the conflict between the people. According to Creating American: A History of the United States by McDougal Littell, the six conditions of the Treaty of Paris were:
"1. The United States was independent.
2. Its boundaries would be the Mississippi River on the west, Canada on the north, and Spanish Florida on the south.
3. The United States would receive the right to fish off Canada’s Atlantic Coast, near Newfoundland and Nova Scotia.
4. Each side would repay debts it owed the other.
5. The British would return any enslaved persons they had captured.
6. Congress would recommend that the states return any property they had seized from Loyalists."
Both sides did not completely follow the treaty as the Americans did not pay back their debts and Britain did not return the captured slaves.
