Ending a Revolution

America on the Verge Many Americans were wondering whether or not to continue supporting war Thomas Paine writes another pamphlet The Crisis Convinced many soldiers to continue fighting in the war British strategy changes to focusing on Southern Colonies Utilize loyalist support to make South give up British place new man in charge, Lord Cornwallis

Yorktown Cornwallis underestimates the colonists and makes poor decision to take his men to Yorktown (a peninsula) Continental army surrounds British on land, French navy shows up to trap them by sea Cornwallis forced to surrender to Washington

Discussion How did Thomas Paine again save the American Revolution? Why did the British believe changing strategy to focusing on the South would work better? Predict what the outcomes of the war will be.

Effects of the War Treaty of Paris signed; ends the war (more a result of the British becoming tired of the war) Britain recognizes American independence Britain agree to give up all claims of territory of 13 colonies including Ohio River Valley Problems for America- what to do now? No economy No continental government British still in Canada

Impact on Tennessee Cherokee Indians in Tennessee (Watauga) side with Britain Although there was a tough past, Britain did not want expansion west into Tennessee, Americans (Wataugans) did John Donelson and James Robertson travel to middle Tennessee create Nashville to escape pressure from Britain and Cherokee Conflict with Cherokee Indians increased Battle of the Bluffs: Cherokee led by Dragging Canoe attack Nashville and fail to take it

Reflection What was the most important effect of the Revolution?
