Title: Treaty of Paris text ending the American Revolutionary War in the Gents Mag 1783

Description: [The 1783 Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the American Revolutionary War between Great Britain and the United States, along with its allies France and Spain, including the Preliminary Articles (published in February 1783's issue of the Gentleman's Magazine) and the final Treaty (published in November 1783)]. The text of the Treaty of Paris, signed on 3 September 1783, which officially ended the American Revolutionary War between Great Britain and the United States, along with its allies France and Spain. Signed at the Hôtel d’York in Paris, it marked Britain’s formal recognition of American independence and established the young nation’s borders from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, and from Canada to Spanish Florida. The American commissioners—John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay—negotiated directly with British representative David Hartley. Ratified by Congress in January 1784 and by King George III in April, the treaty also granted Americans fishing rights off Newfoundland, access to the Mississippi River, and provided for the release of prisoners and repayment of debts on both sides. It recommended, but did not require, restitution of property to Loyalists. The treaty formed part of the broader Peace of Paris, which also included separate treaties between Britain and France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic. Coming nearly two years after the British surrender at Yorktown, the Treaty of Paris was a landmark in international diplomacy, formally confirming the birth of the United States and redrawing the map of North America in the wake of colonial revolution. . Signatories include David Hartley, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, Count of Aranda, Charles Gravier (Comte de Vergennes). Published February and November 1783.
