Phase III: The Southern Strategy [ ]

Britain’s “Southern Strategy” Britain thought that there were more Loyalists in the South. Southern resources were more valuable/worth preserving. The British win a number of small victories, but cannot pacify the countryside

The Battle of Yorktown (1781) Count de Rochambeau Admiral De Grasse

British General Lord Cornwallis moved his troops to Virginia to set up camp and wait for reinforcements. The time was right for Washington to set the ultimate trap. James Armistead (a slave) was a double spy and gave Washington information Washington had over 16,000 American and French soldiers ready to fight Cornwallis was not impressed, he opted to board British ships and sail to New York Before he could leave, a fleet of French battleships sailed into the Bay…Cornwallis was now trapped.

Washington would lead a three week attack on the British

Trapped, Lord Cornwallis surrendered on Oct 17, 1781…the Americans had won their INDEPENDENCE! MapsMaps

Great Britain recognized the United States as an independent nation United States gained all land east of the Mississippi River from Canada to Florida U.S. agreed to ask the States to return property seized from loyalists…Most states refused, especially MA (shocker).
