1783

 After nine years the war is finally over. Congress just signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially gives America its independence, and kicks the redcoats out. Also another treaty has been signed to give Florida back to the Spanish. However, we did lose General George Washington from the Army. But all is well in America!

 Hurrah! Congress has officially agreed to ratify the Preliminary Articles of Peace, which will stop the fighting. It will also make the British help pay for the war debt, including destroyed property.

 I just got news that Ben Franklin has been in England arguing for American independence. And though in the beginning the britts wanted some, but limited power in our government they finally seattled on something they both agreed on. Peace. They signed an informal treaty, the Preliminary Articles of Peace, to cease the war. So I guess this war is finally about over.

 Did you hear? General George Washington has defeated the britts at Yorktown. His troops joined forces with about 4,000 french troops to destroy Cornwallis' army. The Continental Army combined with the French Army defeated the redcoats and took over 8,000 prisoners.

 This cant be good the British currently have control of New York, Philadelphia, and they have control of most all the southern colonies. And to make things worse, in case you haven't heard, Benedict Arnold has committed treason against this new country and joined the britts.

 I've been hearing a lot about this Francis Marion fellow and his new tactics, and they appear to be working. He uses guerrilla warfare, which means he attacks in small swift skirmishes then flees back to a headquarters. Because we have so few men to spare we all ought to use this strategy. It e inflicts maximum damage with less American casualties.
