Treaty Of Paris Dbq

America was at war with their previous ruler of the land, Great Britain. Not only they were involved in this conflict, as France and Spain were, too. France and Spain were allied of the newly found land. In this case, Britain declared war on France, however, Spain was never involved in the war, for France tried their best to keep them from fighting.
Three important American leaders began to travel to have peace negotiations with the British in September of 1782. Soon after these negotiations with British leaders, Preliminary Articles for Britain and France were written, making peace before both countries. These Articles were signed November 10, 1782. Around five months later, they were ratified by congress. It wasn’t until September 3, 1783,

that the Treaty of Paris was officially signed. All four countries agreed to the treaty, as Britain and France signed one of their own months before America did. The Treaty of Paris was a document, which formally ended the American Revolution. It was ratified four months later, on January 14, 1783, after being written and signed.
The treaty was signed by the soon-to-be founding fathers of the United States of America.

These three people were Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, first Vice President and second President; and John Jay, the first chief of justice of the United States. As well as, these American leaders, a British representative by the name of David Hartley placed his signature on the peace treaty.
The Treaty of Paris stated that Britain should now see America as its’ own free country. As well as this, it set boundaries, from North to South, separating both countries (Article 2D). In this treaty, it also stated that every single prisoner of war from both sides shall be released to their homeland. This also mentioned that no further harm shall be done to these people when travelling home (art 7). Nor can they bring anything from the other side with them, such as property of people who live in the new United States.
In addition to these new set “laws”, no creditors should be blocked from receiving debts from the people whom owed them the money that is contracted to them. They will and shall not be punished for such. Over all, as said in the treaty, “There shall be a firm and perpetual peace between his Britannic Majesty and the said states,” as stated in the 7th article of the Treaty of

paris.
Soon after this treaty was written and signed, the American Revolution ended, citizens of both the British settlements and American ground accepted this into their lives, and the United States of America was seen as its’ own country once and for all.
