[PAR] [TLE] George Rogers Clark [SEP] George Rogers Clark (November 19, 1752 – February 13, 1818) was a surveyor, soldier, and militia officer from Virginia who became the highest ranking American military officer on the northwestern frontier during the American Revolutionary War.  He served as leader of the militia in Kentucky (then part of Virginia) throughout much of the war.  Clark is best known for his celebrated captures of Kaskaskia (1778) and Vincennes (1779) during the Illinois Campaign, which greatly weakened British influence in the Northwest Territory.  Because the British ceded the entire Northwest Territory to the United States in the 1783 Treaty of Paris, Clark has often been hailed as the "Conqueror of the Old Northwest". [PAR] [TLE] Treaty of Paris (1783) [SEP] The Treaty of Paris, signed in Paris by representatives of King George III of Great Britain and representatives of the United States of America on September 3, 1783, ended the American Revolutionary War.  The treaty set the boundaries between the British Empire in North America and the United States, on lines "exceedingly generous" to the latter.  Details included fishing rights and restoration of property and prisoners of war.
