Yes, England agreed to cede all land east of the Mississippi River, except for New Orleans and Florida, to the United States as part of the Treaty of Paris in 1783, which ended the American Revolutionary War. This treaty recognized American independence and established boundaries for the new nation, significantly expanding U.S. territory. However, Spain retained control of New Orleans and Florida at that time.
