This Day in American History
On this day in 1782, representatives of the nearly liberated colonies (later to become, of course, the United States) and Great Britain sign a preliminary peace agreement to end the Revolutionary War that would nearly 2 years later become the Treaty of Paris. Our success at Yorktown more than a year earlier could not become a real policy change for the Brits until Lord North had resigned as Prime Minister.
