This Treaty had 6 major conditions that both sides had to respect:
1) The U.S. was to be recognized as independent
2) British were ordered to immediately leave the U.S. 
3) U.S. would get West of Mississippi River
4) Each side would have to repay debts they owed to the other side
5) The British had to return any enslaved prisoners they captured during the war
6) Congress would recommend the states to return any loyalist property
        I have to say, it is a great thing that this treaty was signed. It helped solve a serious problem that was occuring during the war, in which the treaty helped fix in a way. If you are unfamiliar with the problem I'm talking about, I'll happily tell you. With the war raging on, the army from both sides (British and Americans) were rapidly dying out, making it harder to recruit more soldiers. However with the Treaty signed, war was over,  and the military didn't suffer with serious amounts of deaths.
         But, unfortunatly, the treaty did not solve all problems. In fact, there are more problems than there are solutions. Firstly, even though the military didn't have any more serious amounts of deaths, the American military had already lost 25,700 soldiers (along with 8,200 wounded), while the British lost 10,000 men. Secondly, the soldiers didn't get paid money for their service, but got a certificate for a piece of land in the West instead. But many soldiers had to give up their land to get money to buy food and supplies. Thirdly, after the war, the Americans were left in a debt of $27 million, which would be hard for them to pa off. Finally, and fourthly, thousands of loyalists and several African and Native Americans (roughly 60,000-100,000) lost their property when they fled to Canada in fear for their lives.

It helped end the suffering of the Americans, me, and my men. We fought for this Treaty, even through the darkest of times(including chilling snow and dangerous battles, all the while losing members of the army). It is like I have said,"We must all hang together, or assuredly we will all hang separably." ]]> 2016-10-31 21:57:38 UTC https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134360372 402564 https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134380358 September 3,  1783]]> 2016-11-01 02:47:07 UTC https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134380358 402564 https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134381683 2016-11-01 03:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134381683 402564 https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134381908 Paris]]> 2016-11-01 03:07:32 UTC https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134381908 402564 https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134382063 When I was a soldier in the Continental Army, my only goal was to help America gain its independence. We endured blistering winds, disastrous battles, etc. When we defeated the British the final time, the Treaty of Paris was signed. Not only did we receive a piece of land in our name for our efforts,which is where me and my family are residing, but we were given praise for being the ones who helped the Treaty to be signed, which benefited me and my fellow Americans. My wish that I had wanted, and now has come true due to the Treaty, was granted and it was that,"I hope I shall one day find land enough to rest my bones in."]]> 2016-11-01 03:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/402564/6znch0nnapzc/wish/134382063
