No Revolutionary War Territory North of the Great Lakes: The Region Was Secured in the War of 1812

The United States did not gain territory north of the Great Lakes as a result of the Revolutionary War. The 1783 Treaty of Paris set the boundary along the Great Lakes' southern shores. The region north of the lakes remained British. The U.S. secured control of the Great Lakes region—including present-day Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota—through the War of 1812 and subsequent treaties (e.g., Treaty of Ghent, 1814; Convention of 1818).
