What was the northern border of the US after the revolution?
The Treaty of Paris granted the United States title to an extraordinarily vast expanse of land. The fledgling nation stretched from the sparsely settled Atlantic Coast in the east, to the Mississippi River in the west; from the Great Lakes in the north, to near the Gulf of Mexico in the south.
How was the government after the American Revolution?
After the war ended, the states joined together to set up a Federal Government under the Articles of Confederation.

What were the new boundaries after the Treaty of Paris?
The treaty established generous boundaries for the United States; U.S. territory now extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River in the west, and from the Great Lakes and Canada in the north to the 31st parallel in the south.
How far West did the British territory extend?
The Treaty of Paris of 1763 brought about an end to the Seven Years’ War. The British gained control over territory in mainland North America stretching from the eastern seaboard as far west as the Mississippi River.
What was the settlement of the West?

How did the United States expand its territory after the war?
The U.S. boundaries established in Paris did not stay fixed for long. Over the next seventy years, the United States expanded to the Pacific Ocean and acquired more than two million square miles of contiguous territory through land purchases, treaties, and war.

The dramatic expansion of the United States to the Pacific Coast and into the Southwest in the years 1846-48 is the focus of this lesson.
What land did the United States get from the Treaty of Paris?
The Treaty of Paris granted the United States title to an extraordinarily vast expanse of land. The fledgling nation stretched from the sparsely settled Atlantic Coast in the east, to the Mississippi River in the west; from the Great Lakes in the north, to near the Gulf of Mexico in the south.
How did the United States get its geographic location?
