The statement that is NOT true about the Treaty of Paris of 1783 is:

The Spanish offered Florida as a token of thanks for defeating the British.

In reality, Florida was returned to Spain as part of the negotiations, but it was not offered as a token of thanks for a victory; rather, the territory had been a point of contention and was regained by Spain from Britain after the war.
