The Treaty of Paris:
In 1783, American and British negotiators signed a treaty ceasing hostilities and recognizing America's independence.
The war formally ended in a Paris hotel room on the morning of September 3, 1783, when both sides signed a treaty pledging "to forget past Misunderstandings & Differences." The treaty recognized the colonies as the United States of America, established boundaries, and guaranteed that both nations would enjoy free passage on the Mississippi River. |
