Conclusion
Throughout everything the Americans have gone through they finally achieved what they wanted. After 8 long years of strife they got independence. On the road to independence they did loose important people, such as General Warren, but in the long run it was worth it. Everything ended with the Treaty of Paris, which was signed in Paris. The signing of the Treaty of Paris brought independence to all the American colonies, which allowed them to form the United States of America.
