Treaty of Paris

The treaty of Paris was due on September 3 of 1783. It was comformed by a agreement between America and Great Britain. This recognized American independence and established borders for the new nation. This formally made to end the Revolutionary War. But it was finally done by the Continental Congress in 1784.

The treaty contained ten articles, or key points. It declares the intention of both America and Great Britain to forget all past differences and misunderstandings between each oders.
It was signed in Paris by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay. The good thing is that Britain agreed to remove all of its troops from the new nation. But The United States also agreed not to persecute loyalists still in America and allow those that left America to return to their homelands.

The treaty also established U.S. boundaries. Which specified certain fishing rights, to allowed creditors of each country to be paid by citizens. It also restored the rights and property of Loyalists. But If it wasn't that the British heard of the surrender at Yorktown, maybe united states wouldn't exist as a nation. So it really took a huge and important part of it's independence history.
