I would say that the first sentence is a run-on sentence:
A. In 1783, the US Congress ratified a preliminary peace treaty, the US and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, British troops left New York City, and George Washington resigned as commander.
First of all, it is way too long. Then, it has many commas and almost no conjunctions, which makes its punctuation incorrect, which makes the sentence a run-on sentence.
