September 3, 1783

     BREAKING NEWS EVERYBODY! The British and the Americans have finally signed a treaty, which is known as the second Treaty of Paris! After almost a year of arguments and negotiating, the Brits and Thirteen Colonies have found a way to live in peace with one another, now as separate countries. Benjamin Franklin was a hard negotiator, but this is what he eventually got out of the British:
  • Britain recognizes America as an independent country.
  • The United States claimed the Ohio Valley.
  • The Americans are allowed to fish in Quebec waters.
  • All troops from Britain has to leave American territory.
  • Loyalists can not be prosecuted, and the Congress says that the property of the Loyalists should be returned. 
     Well, seems like the United States finally got what they wanted, and after 8 years of war, everyone can now live in peace. 

Tune in later for more breaking news, later everybody!
