Sep 3– “Treaty of Paris” (1783)

 I think I've posted most of the obvious 'Murica videos on Youtube. 'Member Nethack? Nethack had a reference to this song if you didn't name your pony. Still the best Roguelike.

Sep 3– “Treaty of Paris” (1783)

Summary: Great Britain finally admits the colonies are independent (approximately two years too late).

Commentary: T5FSOB has this listed as "Treaty With Great Britain". I can't find any evidence that this was a later adopted name, so I'm curious about why Eliot didn't use what, as far as I know, is both the more common and correct name. 

Other than that, it's an ok historic document. Lots of rules for fishing and super specific agreements to use as fodder for your historical fiction novel.
