Treaty of Paris True or False

1. What were the possible reasons Britain was so generous to the U.S. in the treaty? -> Britain's negotiator was a friend of Franklin's, opposed the war, and wanted to keep the U.S. as a possible ally or trading partner.
2. What finally pushed Britain to the negotiating table? -> France, Spain, and the Netherlands were all attacking Britain and in different ways, supporting the Revolution.
3. The British only granted the U.S. two borders in the treaty. Why not all four? -> The British wanted the U.S. to guess on that final border. More fun for them.
4. Why did King George have German noble titles? -> He was a traitor to the British.
5. Why was access to the Mississippi important to the British? -> It gave them the ability to protect their Native American allies.
