What happened in the battle that led to the Surrender at Yorktown?
Let's look at some of the facts:
General Cornwallis, who had been badly defeated already, headed toward Yorktown in Virginia, which was on the waterfront, to wait for reinforcements
American armies, led by General George Washington, were on his trail and were following the British General on land
Meanwhile, our allies from France, were following the British army by sea and surrounded the bay
Surrounded by land and by sea and with no reinforcements nearby, General Cornwallis surrendered by handing over his sword
This resulted in the last major battle of the American Revolutionary War
Next, let's check out this comic strip of the Surrender at Yorktown!
