036 The American Revolution: Yorktown, Part I

After General Cornwallis reestablished his base of operations
from the Carolinas to Virginia, little did he know that he was
setting up the conditions that would be lead to the end of the
American Revolution. Ordered to hold a small port in Virginia,
Cornwallis chose Yorktown. The French turned the tables on the
Royal Navy, defeating the squadron sent to keep Cornwallis
supplied. Hemmed in by the Continental Army on land and the
French Navy at sea, Cornwallis had little choice but to sit tight
and hold out.
