Good morning, Whitewater
There are no municipal, public meetings scheduled for today for the City of Whitewater.
The Wisconsin Historical Society recalls that today is the anniversary of Britain’s formal surrender to America, ending her war against American independence:
1783 – Paris Peace Treaty Signed
On this date the Paris Peace Treaty was signed. The treaty demanded land, including Wisconsin, be ceded from Britain to the United States. Two years after the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, American and British delegations met in Paris to formalize Britain’s recognition of the United States of America. The treaty articles were drawn up on November 30, 1782 and formally agreed upon on September 3, 1783. [Source: University of Oklahoma, College of Law]
