Abstract The paper discusses the American revolution when the American states won their battles with Britain during the 170's. The paper speaks of the French involvement and their superiority to the British army. The paper also discusses the "Article of the Federation" and the failures of the document. The paper continues with the parts played by the "Federal" and and the "Constitutional Convention" which became the basis of the "Founding Fathers Groups", the forerunner of the United States of America.
From the Paper "The first Treaty of Paris was in 1763. This was at the end of the Seven Years War and would see French power diminished greatly. The treaty transferred New France to the British Empire. When France later entered the Revolutionary War on the side of the rebels, some thought this was a matter of revenge for losing Canada to the British. The French helped the Americans win the war, but the cost was high and damaging to the French treasury. The second Treaty of Paris ended the American Revolutionary War in 1783. The treaty was also largely about territory and about dividing up North American that was then under the control of the Americans, the British, and the French. The dividing line in the north separated Canada from the United States and left Quebec to the French. The region of Nova Scotia was not so clearly defined and would not be for some time, after more tension between France and Britain. The change effected in the New World would have a major effect on France thereafter and would lead directly to the French Revolution in 1789."
