The Congress of the Confederation is recorded as ratifying the preliminary articles ending the Revolutionary War in April 1783, acting on the provisional treaty drafted in Paris.
Operating as the legislative body of the newly established United States, the Congress of the Confederation is recorded in the legacy row as ratifying the preliminary articles of peace on April 15, 1783, in Philadelphia. The supplied passages confirm only the Congress's ratifying role and the November 30, 1782 drafting of the provisional treaty; the passage describing congressional ratification concerns the definitive treaty at Annapolis on January 14, 1784, not the preliminary articles.
