Question 16 • EAP-Virginia and US History A CR

What did the British agree to do in the Treaty of Paris? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answer
A
recognize American independence
B
give up claims to lands north of the colonies, in Canada
C
give up claims to lands west of the colonies, to the Mississippi River

Explanation

In the 1783 Treaty of Paris, Britain recognized the United States as an independent nation and agreed that its western boundary would extend to the Mississippi River. Britain did not give up Canada; it remained under British control. So the correct choices are “recognize American independence” and “give up claims to lands west of the colonies, to the Mississippi River.”
