Answer 1

The THREE terms of the 1783 Treaty of Paris were:

A) The United States prohibited the future confiscation of Loyalist property.
E) Great Britain acknowledged the independence of the United States.
B) The British were barred from accessing the Mississippi River.

However, note that option B is misleading; while the treaty did establish American control over the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, it did not explicitly bar the British from accessing the Mississippi River.

So the best choices are:

A) The United States prohibited the future confiscation of Loyalist property.
E) Great Britain acknowledged the independence of the United States.
C) (Although not a formal term, it aligns with the interests shown during the treaty negotiations, especially the establishment of boundaries and westward expansion terms in later contexts).

The most clear cut terms are A and E officially recognized in the treaties. In addition, setting westward expansion limitations was part of the dialogue, but was more formalized later.
