This preliminary treaty was embodied with very few changes in the' general treaty of 1783. According to its terms, the new Ameri can republic was to extend from the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi river. This made Virginia, the . Carolinas and Georgia extend right across the map to the Mississippi, while the coun try around the Great Lakes -was given partly to Virginia and partly to New Kngland. -Some very important con cessions were also made to the Ameri can fishermen, who bad been 'used' to fishing on the Newfoundland hanks. Through the efforts ef - John Adams, an agreement was reached whereby the American fishermen might continue to fish wherever they had done so since tune immemorial, and that -they might land to cure and dry their fish In any uninhabited spot, except in Newfound land. There was a long discussion as to compensation for the Tories in Amer lea whose property had been seised by the revolutionists. .The British govern ment, feeling that it should stand by those subject whose land - had been confiscated on account ot their loyalty. Insisted that the congress pay the vic tims or popular rury for what had been destroyed. " The Americans, looking upon the Tones with deep moral.
