A bit late but.... February 6 . . . 1778 - In Paris, France and colonial agents negotiate and sign two treaties-one of alliance and one of amity and commerce. According to the terms of the alliance treaty, the Americans are given leave to conquer Canada and Bermuda, while France is permitted to conquer the British possessions in the West Indies. The Treaty of Amity and Commerce recognized the United States as an independent nation and promoted trade between France and the United States. Congress ratifies the pacts on May 4, and in July French ambassador Conrad Alexandre Gerard arrives in America to present his credentials. Too bad we couldn't get the British to sign off on this though. Makes sense to me.[:)] |
