"Congress and the States were fully resolved to entertain no proposition of peace until the fleets and armies of Great Britain were withdrawn or the independence of the States recognized as a preliminary to the negotiation". "On Monday the 24th the British Commander gave final notice that he would withdraw form New York at noon of the following day." (November 25, 1783).
