[ Benjamin West's painting of the delegates at the Treaty of Paris: representing USA = John Jay, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Laurens, and William Temple Franklin. NO ONE represented Great Britain in the painting because the British refused to pose for the painting ... sore losers ;) public domain image ]
On this date, September 3, in 1783, the Treaty of Paris was signed. It outlined the terms by which Great Britain surrendered America to the Colonials who fought so hard for their freedom during the Revolutionary War. The treaty negotiations (discussions and compromises reached to make peace between Great Britain and the United States of America), which started in April of 1782, were led by Ben Franklin, John Jay, Henry Laurens, and John Adams for the United States of America and by David Hartley and Richard Oswald representing the King of Great Britain.
