Starve, dissolve, or disperse in order to obtain subsistence in the best manner they can” Valley Forge December 23, 1777 George Washington

Treaty of Paris 1783 Great Britain recognizes United States of America as independent Northern border set (New England primarily along the Great Lakes) Mississippi River set as West border Florida was given back to Spain Great Britain removes any remaining troops Restore property to American loyalists
