Answer 1

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

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

In reality, the Treaty of Paris did not involve Spain offering Florida; instead, Spain was involved separately and regained Florida from Britain after the war, as part of the negotiations and treaties involved in the conflict. The other statements about the treaty are accurate.
