Explanation:

In grammar, a run-on sentence is one that does not include appropriate use of punctuation or conjunctions to separate sentences that are combined. The sentence "On April 19, 1783, the US Congress ratified a preliminary peace treaty and five months later, the US and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris and British troops left New York City in November" is a run-on sentence because this combines multiple clauses but does not include punctuation marks or conjunctions to separate them.

For example the last clause "Britain signed the Treaty of Paris and British troops left New York City in November" should be separated from the rest using a semicolon or a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction (and, or, but, so, etc.) and although one conjunction has been included the comma was omitted.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
