Treaty of Paris

The treaty that ended the Revolutionary War, confirming the independence of the United States and setting the boundaries of the new nation. * The British made no attempt to protect the land interests of their Native American allies *the treaty did not specify when the British would evacuate their American forts. On the other side, the Americans agreed that British creditors could collect debts owed them by Americans and promised to allow Loyalists to sue in state courts for recovery of their losses. The state governments, however, later failed to honor this agreement.
