Untitled Worksheet
Introduction to Yorktown
The Battle of Yorktown took place in 1781 and was a decisive victory for the American colonies against the British. It marked a turning point in the American Revolution and led to the eventual independence of the United States.
The battle involved American and French forces working together to trap the British army under General Cornwallis. The siege lasted several weeks, during which the British forces faced shortages of supplies and reinforcements.
The surrender at Yorktown effectively ended major fighting in the colonies and paved the way for peace negotiations.
