Think Aloud “ The Treaty of Paris”
The Treaty of Paris
After Yorktown, only a few small battles took place. Lacking the
money to pay for a new army, Great Britain entered into peace
talks with America. Benjamin Franklin had a key role in the
negotiations.
Delegates took more than two years to come to a peace
agreement. In the Treaty of Paris of 1783, Great Britain recognized
the independence of the United States. The treaty also set America’s
borders. A separate treaty between Britain and Spain returned
Florida to the Spanish. British leaders also accepted American
rights to settle and trade west of the original thirteen colonies.
At the war’s end, Patriot soldiers returned to their homes and
families. The courage of soldiers and civilians had made America’s
victory possible. As they returned home, George Washington
thanked his troops for their devotion. “I…wish that your latter
days be as prosperous as your former ones have been glorious.”
