Final answer:
Exercise 8.4.3 asks if Loyalists were well treated after the signing of the treaty, which is false. Many faced persecution and loss of property, contradicting the idea that they were well protected by the treaty.
Step-by-step explanation:
Regarding Exercise 8.4.3 and the statement, 'Loyalists were protected by the treaty and well treated after it was signed'; the answer is b. False. Historical records indicate that after the American Revolution, the Treaty of Paris in 1783 did provide some terms for the Loyalists, such as the cessation of hostilities and the restoration of properties. However, these terms were not well enforced.
In practice, many Loyalists faced persecution, loss of property, and had to flee to other parts of the British Empire. The treatment of Loyalists varied widely, and the perception of being 'well treated' did not hold true for many. The complexities surrounding their protection and the actual outcomes following the treaty showcase the difficulties Loyalists faced during this period of history.
