1. Going South!
With the help of Allies, like the French, and other Europeans, the war in the Northern part of the colonies was pretty much over…

2. Going South! The British decided to change their strategy…again!
The British hoped that thousands of loyalists living in the area would help the British.

3. Going South!
Instead, American soldiers used hit & run tactics against the British—preventing British victories.
The British get tired of this and seek some rest at a small port town called Yorktown.

4. Going South!
The French and the Americans surround the British and pummel them for days, until British surrender.

5. Victory! The Americans win, but the cost of victory is high.
6,200 killed in battle
8,500 died as prisoners
10,000 die of disease
As a percentage, more Americans die during the Revolution than any other war, except the Civil War.
