大陸會議正式批准巴黎條約
1784年1月14日
美國獨立戰爭什麼時候正式結束呢？在1783年9月3日，戰場上的最後一聲槍響後的一年多之後，兩國才在巴黎簽訂了和平條約。在條約的規定下，美國得到了密西西比河以東的所有土地。
巴黎條約在簽訂之後，被送到大陸會議進行討論與審查。美國有六個月的時間來批准這項文件，然後再交給英國。由於來往傳遞時間大約需要兩個月，所以條約最遲必須在一月的時候就要送交給英國。這項珍貴的文件當時幾乎就要來不及到達了。
When did the Revolutionary War officially come to an end? On September 3, 1783, more than a year after the last shots were fired, a peace treaty was drawn up in Paris. Under the terms of the treaty, the United States was granted territory as far west as the Mississippi River.
After the Treaty of Paris was signed, it was sent to the Continental Congress. The United States had six months to ratify (approve) the document and return it to England. With the journey requiring approximately two months, the treaty needed to be on its way back to England by January. The valuable document almost did not arrive in time.
