Does anyone know where the treaty was actually signed in Paris. Like is there a building where they sign treaties or something? I ask because I am going to Paris for the summer and thought it would be cool to find out. --ScottyBoy900Q 12:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)i think this will help you alot!
____________________________________________________________________________________ IPS:
I'm not a history professor, but didn't this country initially try a different form of government before becoming the United States of America with the current constitution?
The United States of America was governor by several organizational structures, most notably the Articles of the Confederation, before the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1787. However, it had been called the United States of America since the Declaration of Independence in 1776. ___________________________________________________________________________________
[edit] British Colonies in North America changed to United States of America
I changed the phrase "British Colonies in North America" to "United States of America" as the British had already legally recognized the soverignity of the United States of America in the autumn of 1782. Of course, the colonies had already recognized their own soverignity in 1776. The text of treaty states that the treaty is with the United States of America, not former colonies.
An event mentioned in this article is a September 3 selected anniversary.
Could someone explain this: "longer than that required by the treaty"
I don't understand, it was ratified within 6 months, so what's the problem? Krupo 02:04, Aug 27, 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, that is a little puzzling. If it stays it needs some additional explanation. See [1]. Apparently the "longer than required" refers to the date ratifications were exchanged -- which was recorded in Franklin's diary as May 12, 1784. And Britain's ratification occured on April 9, 1784. Both of which dates are more than six months after September 3, 1783. I'm not sure if it is worth going into very much detail though, since there was no controversy what so ever about it. older≠wiser 12:02, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

- Ah... well even this brief explanation on the talk page does the trick for anyone who wanders in and gets confused - thanks. :) Krupo 04:26, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

The following was poorly placed (after the External links section), unwikified, and looks somewhat like a school essay. If there's anything worth keeping, it can be re-merged. older≠wiser 00:40, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The Revolutionary War ended with Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown in 1781. John Adams, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, and Henry Laurens were sent to Paris to make the treaty. The British were anxious to stop the fighting with the colonies so they settled for most anything our representatvies wanted. --Some problems at the Peace Treaty signing was that the French were not reps. They got upset with the colonies because they thought they might get something out of it since they helped the colonies through the whole war. Benjamin Franklin was friends with the British, he talked to them and then it was all ok. --Another problem was that they werent for sure what to do with the Loyalists land. Suring the war, the Loyalists got scared and fled. They left most of their stuff, the U.S. sold it and to get money to help pay off their debt.
The Treaty of Pairs: 1. recognized the colonies as the United States of America 2. established the boundaries between the United States and British North America 3. granted fishing rights to United States fishermen in the Grand Banks, off the coast of Newfoundland and in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence 4.United States Congress will "earnestly recommend" to state legislatures to recognize the rightful owners of all confiscated lands "provide for the restitution of all estates, rights, and properties, which have been confiscated belonging to real British subjects." (never implemented) 5.prisoners of war on both sides are to be released
The treaty was signed On September 3, by David Hartley (a member of the British Parliament), John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay (representing the United States).
The Continental Congress ratified the treaty on January 14, 1784.
The British troops were never completely removed because we had no army left to make them.
could you tell me what the consequences were?????
