037 The American Revolution: Yorktown Part II

In the fall of 1781, the Continental Army and their French Allies
had succeeded in trapping the British Army in Virginia in
Yorktown. Unable to break the siege, General Cornwallis
surrendered his force to Washington. Little did the General know,
this was the last major battle of the American Revolution.
Unwilling to continue the war, the British and Americans
negotiated a peace treaty. The war was over. Independence was
achieved, but now the hard work began.
