Ratified by the Congress of the Confederation on 14 January 1784,The treaty that formally ended the Revolutionary War gave formal recognition to the United States.

The three American negotiators, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay, proved themselves to be masters of the game, outmaneuvering their counterparts and clinging fiercely to the points of national interest that guaranteed a future for the United States. Two crucial provisions of the treaty were British recognition of U.S. independence and the delineation of boundaries that would allow for American western expansion.

The treaty is named for the city in which it was negotiated and signed. The last page bears the signatures of David Hartley, who represented Great Britain, and the three American negotiators, who signed their names in alphabetical order.

And it would be almost 15 years till the British FINALLY left the forts on Lake Ontario....and another 15 years until the Treaty of Ghent satisfied the whole of the Paris Treaty.

Let's see....1776 to 1814....38 years!!!!!!
