Question

Failure to yield the right of way does not lead to collisions in both Florida and the United States.

(a) True
(b) False

Answer 1

False. The claim that both the Americans and the British gave up claims to the Mississippi is false; only the British relinquished their claims to the region in the Treaty of Paris 1783.

Step-by-step explanation:

The assertion that both the Americans and the British gave up claims to the Mississippi for the sake of peace is false. In the Treaty of Paris 1783, which ended the American Revolutionary War, the British recognized American sovereignty over the territory east of the Mississippi River.

The United States was given fishing rights in Canadian waters as well, but it was Britain that relinquished its claims, not the Americans. Hence, only one party, the British, gave up claims to that region.
