The battle of Yorktown started on September 28, 1781. This battle had a significant effect on the American Revolution. George Washington was in charge of the American army and De Rochambeau commanded the British. Since the Treaty of Alliance, the French fought against the British alongside the Americans. The American-French army outnumbered the British significantly. Eventually, the British surrendered to the Americans. This surrender lead to the end of the American Revolution.
I can't believe what I awoke to this morning. When I looked out my window this morning, I seen a celebration going on in the streets. I asked my neighbor what was going on, he said the British surrendered at Yorktown. I was and still am stunned. I can't believe the British surrendered so easy! It is official, the Americans won the Revolution! I have no idea what will happen now, what will happen to everything around me? I am angry and sad that the British did this. They surrendered. The Americans won the American Revolution.
