THE BRITISH MOVE SOUTH Early British Success in the South 1778, British take Savannah; royal governor reinstated in Georgia British armies capture Charles Town, 1780—greatest victory of war British commander Charles Cornwallis smashes through South Carolina African Americans escape Patriot owners, join British to win freedom British Losses in , Cornwallis fights Daniel Morgan, Nathaniel Greene in Carolinas Weakened Cornwallis gets reinforcements, camps at Yorktown

THE BRITISH SURRENDER AT YORKTOWN Victory at Yorktown French army lands in Newport, Rhode Island in 1780 Lafayette’s plan: French, Americans attack British at Yorktown French navy defeats British, blockades Chesapeake Bay American, French siege Yorktown, shell British for three weeks Cornwallis surrenders October 1781

SURRENDER AT YORKTOWN Seeking Peace 1782 peace talks include United States, Britain, France, Spain American negotiators: John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay Treaty of Paris signed September 1783: - confirms U.S. independence - sets boundaries of new nation - ignores Native American rights - promises repayment of debts - no date set for British evacuation of forts in U.S
