The American Revolution ended on October 17, 1781, when General Cornwallis surrendered to General Washington after the Battle of Yorktown, (history.com, 2009). The American victory impacted the many groups of people who were involved in the war effort, including Loyalists, Native Americans, and African Americans.

While the surrender at Yorktown largely stopped fighting between the British and the Americans, in the South, bands of loyalists fought gangs of Patriots, (npr.org, 2015).

There were no treaties signed in most of British Columbia because it was too costly and the federal government lost interest in the First Nations land. Europeans did not reach British Columbia until the late 1700s, after the signing of the Royal Proclamation of 1763. Most of the First Nations communities in B.C. did not sign treaties with the Crown. There were only two treaties that were signed with the Crown, Treaty 8 which “covers northern alberta and part of the nwt, stretches over the northeastern corner of bc” (Kulchyski 68), and the Douglas Treaties on Vancouver Island. The fur trade was a major moment at this time, and the Hudson’s Bay Company took part in it.

Even though, that sounded like a good idea and the government would hold up their end of the deal, it did not end up working out.
Sectional Tensions Gadsden Purchase: The Gadsden Purchase was a treaty made in 1853 by James Gadsden of South Carolina. Gadsden was appointed by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis to secure a chunk of Mexico for a railway route.

The land Gadsden had managed to obtain would have made making a southern railroad much more simple than cutting through more northern mountains.
During the 1790’s, the young republic faced many of the same problems that confronted the newly independent nations of Africa and Asia in the 20th century. Like other nations born in anti-colonial revolutions, the United States faced the challenge of building a sound economy, preserving national independence, and creating a stable political system which provided a legitimate place for opposition. In 1790, it was not at all obvious that the Union would longer survive. George Washington thought that the new government would not last 20 years. One challenge was to consolidate public support.
