Question 10 • DRHS GA-GSE US History A

How did the Treaty of Paris affect the United States' borders?

Answer
A
It gave the United States ownership of the Northwest Territory.
B
It allowed the United States to make the Louisiana Purchase.
C
It ended a war between the United States and France.

Explanation

The 1783 Treaty of Paris ended the American Revolution and recognized U.S. territory extending west to the Mississippi River. That included the Northwest Territory, so choice A is correct. The treaty was with Great Britain, not France, and it did not itself make the Louisiana Purchase.
