Yorktown The Final Battle Cornwallis and his troops are becoming tired from fighting in the South. Getting low on supplies. Men are becoming fatigued.(Tired) Cornwallis marches his army onto the Yorktown Peninsula.

Yorktown Peninsula

Yorktown Why do you think Cornwallis would put his army on this peninsula? Do you see any potential problems when a commander places his army on a peninsula?

Yorktown Cornwallis was hoping for the British fleet to come by and reinforce his position and troops. The French navy however prevents this from happening. At this time the Americans rush to trap Cornwallis on the peninsula.

Siege of Yorktown For three weeks Cornwallis is trapped. He has no escape from the Peninsula and he is facing a superior American and French force. October 19, 1781, the British surrender. At this point Parliament decides to end the fighting in America.

Surrender at Yorktown

How might the outcome of the war been different if the French did not ally with the Americans?

Treaty of Paris Peace talks began in 1782 in France. April 15, 1783, congress approves the treaty. America is Now independent.

Washington’s Farewell Washington needed to keep his army together until peace was finalized. Dec 4, 1783, Washington said goodbye to his ranking officers at Fraunces Tavern in New York City. One witness recounts that “Such a scene of sorrow and weeping I had never before witnessed.”
