Hope Still in Sight
The Battle of Yorktown to The Treaty of Paris
Despite enduring losses throughout the year of 1780, the arrival of French aid and resources greatly improved morale. Washington was stationed in New York, hoping to move soon.
France Makes a Move
Americans Head to Yorktown
Commanders Lafayette and Rochambeau mobilized troops towards Yorktown and Chesapeake Bay, Virginia. Admiral De Grasse mobilized French naval ships from the West Indies to help disrupt and fight British General Cornwallis.
General Washington mobilizes his army from New York City. He made fake military maneuvers to outsmart the British on his way to Yorktown. Their goal: stop General Cornwallis from receiving fresh supplies and men at Yorktown.
The Battle Rages On
The Siege of Yorktown became a full-scale battle. However, General Cornwallis and his 8,000 men were on their heels. Allied attacks from the British and Americans caused them all to surrender. It was the largest British defeat in the war.
British Support Falters
End this senseless war!
A Peace Treaty is Signed
After the crushing defeat, the British soon realized that the war was not popular with the public. The British clamored for peaceful negotiations after the expensive, long, and deadly war.
Benjamin Franklin, John Jay, and John Adams were received in Britain and, along with the British leaders, signed the Treaty of Paris. The Treaty called for peace as well as the transfer of all British lands east of the Mississippi to the colonies.
