The Aftermath of the American Revolution: Key Complaints Regarding the Treaty of Paris

The conclusion of the American Revolution with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783 led to significant issues for various groups. General Cornwallis's surrender to Washington marked a pivotal moment, but dissatisfaction prevailed among many. African Americans faced the return of some to slavery, British individuals lost property, Loyalists struggled to reclaim their land, and Native Americans suffered land loss. Despite these grievances, the Treaty officially recognized the United States' boundaries, establishing the framework for the new nation that arose from the conflict.
