The USA was not declared independent and only several states of the USA were granted independence at that time. Coasts were mostly covered by the British territory.
Step-by-step explanation:
- The Treaty of Paris was signed in Paris between Britain and The USA to establish peace and that they were tired of wars between them.
- Spain was the only nation that was not convinced by the treaty and that they wanted to capture Gibraltar from Britain.
- John Lay directly negotiated with the USA cutting off Spain and France.
- The western terms stated that The Americans would gain areas such as the following
- East of the Mississippi River
- North of Florida,
- South of Canada.
- Due to these above key points of the treaties, America was not given total independence.
