Paris(1783), Treaty of, concluded the American Revolution. On 20 Sept. 1783 Britain acknowledged American independence and recognized a boundary along the centre of the 4 northerly Great Lakes and from Lake of the Woods "due west" to the imagined location of the Mississippi's headwaters, then South along the Mississippi River. This gave the US Niagara, Detroit and Michilimackinac, the valuable lands reserved to Indians by the Royal Proclamation of 1763. The Americans, negotiating through the French comte de Vergennes, obtained fishing rights off Newfoundland and access to the East banks of the Mississippi; in turn they promised restitution and compensation to British Loyalists. 1, record 10, English, - Treaty%20of%20Paris

Le 20 septembre 1783, la Grande-Bretagne reconnaît l'indépendance américaine et le tracé d'une frontière qui passe au centre des quatre Grands Lacs situés au nord, et qui, à partir du lac des Bois, court vers l'ouest jusqu'à l'emplacement supposé de la source du Mississippi, puis descend vers le sud le long de ce dernier. Les États-Unis reçoivent donc le Niagara, Détroit et Michilimackinac, ainsi que des terres de valeur réservées aux Indiens par la Proclamation Royale de 1763. Les Américains, qui négocient par l'intermédiaire du comte français de Vergennes, obtiennent des droits de pêche au large de Terre-Neuve et l'accès à la rive gauche du Mississippi, en retour de quoi ils promettent la restitution des biens et une compensation aux Loyalistes britanniques. 1, record 10, French, - Trait%C3%A9%20de%20Paris
