Treaty+of+Paris

TREATY OF PARIS The Treaty of Paris was written to recognize America’s independence. It established the boundaries between the Atlantic Ocean on the East to the Mississippi River on the West. It gave the United States land west to the Mississippi much of which it had not been conquered. It mostly declared to the world that the United States was a free and independent country. John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay negotiated the Treaty of Paris. It was signed on September 3, 1783.

The treaty also ended the American Revolution. Not only did the treaty recognize America’s independence, it also established peace between Great Britain and the allied nations; France, Spain, and the Netherlands. It helped the French, by giving them their naval port back. Although it gave America independence, it left several border regions undefined or in dispute. The treaty gave back America it’s fishing rights along the newfound banks, a point sought by the New England interests. Lastly the treaty stated that the loyalist won’t be persecuted. If it wasn’t for this treaty, we probably wouldn’t have had the land east of the Mississippi River and west of the Atlantic.
