Ch. 6 Section 4 The War is Won!

The French Arrive July 1780 French warships appear off New Port, Rhode Island carrying troops Comte de Rochambeau & 5,000 soldiers Washington camped near NYC, watching General Clinton and waiting for second fleet of French ships to attack

CHANGE IN PLANS British Gen. Cornwallis camped in Yorktown, bottled up on a peninsula by Lafayette 1781- French Admiral Francois de Grasse heading towards Chesapeake Bay instead of NY Washington & French secretly march troops 200 miles in 15 days from New York to Virginia Washington & Rochambeau, Lafayette, de Grasses meet near Yorktown

The Siege of Yorktown Washington’s plan works perfectly British General Clinton believes Washington is going to attack in New York 14,000 American & French troops vs. 7,500 Brits and Hessians in Virginia Cornwallis is cornered by troops and French Navy, Clinton helpless

CORNWALLIS DEFEAT October 9th: Pats and French begin bombardment Brits supplies run low, casualties = surrender Oct. 19, 1780- Patriots win Battle of Yorktown

Independence Yorktown convinces Brits that war is too costly B. Franklin, John Jay, John Adams- Delegates in Paris Treaty of Paris (1783)-Brits recognize American Independence Brits promise to withdraw all troops Americans can fish off Canada

WHY THE AMERICANS WON? Own land, Brits ship soldiers & supplies Brits lost sea support (French) Brits occupy cities, not countryside Guerilla warfare= ambush attacks Foreign money, soldiers, ships People’s movement

INFLUENCE OF AMERICAN REVOLUTION Principles of free & equal rights spread Spawns French Revolution in 1789 1791 (Haiti) Saint-Domingo revolution-Louverture: enslaved Africans take up arms, achieve independence

Revolution Key Points Pregame- British Heavily favored Continental Army (Patriots)- close to collapsing multiple times Luck or skill?- Surprise attacks work in Trenton & Yorktown Foreign allies add much needed assistance Patriots have independence, now what do they do with it?
