The British and the Americans have taken 2 years, but the peace talks are finally over. The Treaty of Paris was signed yesterday, September 3, 1783 . Our new counrty's borders are now set! The Mississippi River is our western boundary, while the North and South ones are going to stay the same. The important thing though, is that, officically, the Untied States of America is free from the domination of Great Britian. It is finally all completely over. Also,soon Robert will be here safe and sound.
