The Treaty of Paris officially ended the Revolutionary War on September 3, 1783. It was signed in Paris by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay, representing the United States, together with David Hartley, representing Great Britain. The 1783 Treaty was one of a series of treaties signed at Paris that also established peace between Great Britain and the allied nations of France, Spain, and the Netherlands.

Under the terms of the treaty, Britain recognized the independent nation of the United States of America. Britain agreed to remove all of its troops from the new nation. The treaty also set new borders for the United States, including all land from the Great Lakes on the north to Florida on the south, and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River. The Unites States was also granted access to the fisheries off the coast of Newfoundland.

The United States agreed to allow British troops still in America to leave and also agreed to pay all existing money owed to Great Britain. The United States also consented not to persecute British loyalists still in America and to allow those that left America to return.
