The 1783 Treaty of Paris: America's Future on the Brink
Wednesday, January 5, 2022
Signed in 1783, the Treaty of Paris was the
formal agreement that ended the War for
Independence and created the United States
of America. Presenter and University of
Maryland historian Richard Bell argues that the
Treaty of Paris was a triumph for US diplomacy
that reset relations with Britain and set a new
border with Spanish North America. Notably,
however, the treaty also damaged the
US-French alliance irreparably and left Natives,
loyalists and fugitives from American slavery to
fend for themselves. Call the COA at
