HATES HIM PARTY POLITICIANS ARE JEALOUS OF -Jand made the imbecile German King George yield to his people's wishes By Albert Payson Terhune Copsright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening Worl.) No. 2—THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. é OR eight years our war for independence had raged: It had begun with the rebellion of a handful of untrained colonists against the strongest nation on earth. Year by year, the battling patriots had grown stronger, under Washington's inspired leadership, And at last, France had come to our struggling country’s aid. This turned the scale of war in our favor, And the capture of Cornwallis’s Army at York- town in 1781 convinced Great Britain that she could not hope to conquer us. ’ From the first, the British people at la ‘had been inclined to sympathize with us. Many of the greatest English states men had openly urged that the American colonies be set free, Our wa thus, was not really with the British as a nation, but wita England’s pig- headed German King, George III., and with a group of his advisers, led by Lord North, North had staked everything on the subduing of the Americans. Cornwallis’s surrender was reported, he cried aloud: Whoa ‘Th's same surrender drove Lord North from his office as Prime Minister for our freedom, Then peace negotiations set in. France and Spain both showed a will- ingness to be party to the negotiations. But the Americans and the British did not accept. their Oren 3 France and Spain { suggestions, So the treaty was arranged between ' $ Offer Aid. the two belligerents alone. ha The American negotiators were Benjamjn Franklin, John Jay, John Adams and Henry. Lau- rens. ‘This quartet of patriots tet it be understood clearly from the start, that there were three clauses upon which they would insist and without which no treaty could be agreed upon, These three terms were: Absolute independence for the United States: a fair settlement of boundaries and “the freedom of fishing.” ‘This last clause was more important than can be understood nowadays, for practically all the States were bordering the Atlantic Ocean, and fish+ erics formed a mighty share in our meagre wealth. ‘The British Peace Commissioners granted these three demands almost withont dispute. ‘Then the American Commissioners demanded that Canada be ceded to the United States—in order to permit the paying of war claims and to siy |ply a fund for indemnifying people whose property had been destroyed or confiscated. The Pritish would not consent to this and a wordy wrangie followed, length the demand for Canada was withdrawn by Franklin and hia colleagues, Adams insisted on the right of American fishermen to “dry and cure their catches of fish upon British coasts.” And after another long dispute he carried his point. The British in turn asked that American Torivs be indemnified for losses they had sustained at th» hands of patriots for their loyalty to Bnglart Frankiin fought this claim so fiercely that it sim mered down to a mere “suggestion” that such Tories be indemnified by tae various States in which they lived, Says Prof, Turner: “The real tragedy of the conflict will be found, not in the defeat of the British, but in the ruin of the Loyalists (Americans who had sided with Englar’). It was accompanied by wholesale confiscation of property in many quarters and by the, permanent exile of tens of thousands of tho leading citizens of the new Republic.” ‘The Commissioners met at Paris, There the preliminaries were eettled. Some months carlier—on the fall of the North Ministry—orders had been sent from Londen to the British commanders here to cease hostilities. Yet British troops remained in America until some time after the signitis of the peace treaty. % ‘The treaty was formally ratified on Sept. 3, 1788, but New York City, was not evacuated by the English until late in November. i ‘Thus ended, in victory, our country’s first war—even es victory fs now | crowning our latest war. oar” Wanted the Fever H Paid by U.
