As a clarification on the packet that was handed out in class today - Read through the points of the Declaration of Independence, and then the points in the Treaty of Paris. The Declaration effectively beings the war, and the Treaty of Paris ends it. Do the colonists get everything they were asking for in the Declaration with the Treaty of Paris? Are there things left out of the Treaty of Paris that the colonists should have received? Do the colonists get more or less than they asked for?
