It seems silly that I even have to answer this question, but it is something I get asked more than I would expect.
So who won the American Revolutionary War?
THE UNITED STATES
This is why we celebrate July 4th as our Independence Day and shoot off fireworks.
The 13 original colonies took won the war when they defeated the British at Yorktown. However, the war would not officially end for another couple of years when the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783.
Some have even called the final battle of the Revolutionary War to be the Battle of Fallen Timbers since it was a decisive victory against the Native Americans that had allied themselves with the British.
This battle took place when George Washington was President in 1794.
The British presence would leave the colonies but stayed within the continent as they maintained their interests in Canada and the Caribbean.
