The Treaty of Paris!     

            Bittian and the United States singed Paris's peace treaty on September 3, 1783. A treaty is an agreement between nations. This spacific Treaty had three key parts. The first part was that Britian agreed to think of and recognize the U.S. as a FREE country and the US agreed to return all property and rights taken during the war. And third Britan agreed to return all land rights between the Atlantic Coast and the Mississippi river.

           For different reasons many loyalists did not trust the promices that the treaty contained because of how badly the patriots treated theloyalists during the war.

            The end of the war was, for many Americans, happy and a time of celebration. It had a meaning, for the Americans it meant freedom and a great triumphant win. As well as the end of the war freedom had its own meaning as well it meant that the Americans were aloud to take care of their own future instead of having people tell them what they can and can not do. But happiness can only go so far, many people died for various reasons. Over six thousand died fighting, an estimate of ten thousand died of deases and another eight thousand five hundred were poisoned. George Washington knew very well how important freedom was to the Americans and he made sure they got it.

 More Americans died fighting in the revolutionary War than in any

 orther war other than the Civil War. That is how important freedom was, they payed any price to get it.
