The 1783 Treaty of Paris: America's Future on the Brink

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.
