FREEDOM!!!!

The Treaty of Paris

The Treaty of Paris was a document that was signed in 1783 that ended the revolution and formally declared the United States as an independent nation. It is composed into ten sections; the first being the acknowledgment of the U.S. as a free nation and the rest as agreements and rules that both nations should abide by. Albeit there were subsequent battles, the final major battle prior to the signing took place in Yorktown, Virginia. American forces (led by George Washington) along with the French forces (led by Comte de Rochambeau) won a crucial battle that caused Cornwallis (Commander of the British)


to surrender that eventually led to the capture of eight-thousand troops including various types of combat equipment and transportation methods. Animosity was doused between the two nations and the reformation of the U.S. was set anew.
