Treaty of Paris By:Allie

After the battle of Yorktown, Britain was ready to end war. By this time British still owned the cities of New York, Charleston, and Savannah.During the battle of the Ohio, Kentucky, and the west part of New York, all of the women and children ,who had relatives in the war fighting, were killed on any of the sides.

In September of 1783 the war finally ended with a set of agreements called "the Treaty of Paris". Britain agreed to make the United States an independent country! Britain also agreed to give a HUGE amount of land to the United States. this land included the west part of the Mississippi River, south of Canada, the Great Lakes, and the North part of Florida. The part the United States had to was to restore the rights of American Loyalist. this, however , did not happen.

All the Loyalist left to live in Britain, Canada, and other places. The African Americans who fought in the war also left too. The Patriots had won the war, because of victory the African Americans were known as just ,simple, Americans.
