At the end of spring 1781, General Cornwallis and his army entered Virginia.
In November 1782 a provisional peace treaty was hammered out between the British and the Americans in Paris.
In April 1783 the first evacuation fleet left for Nova Scotia. A week later the British Commander, Sir Guy Carleton, sailed up the Hudson River to Orangetown for a conference with General Washington to discuss the evacuation. As the victorious commander, Washington opened the meeting by reiterating the resolution of Congress regarding “the delivery of all Negroes and other property.”
