Victory at Yorktown! https://www.history.com/this-day-in...ory-at-yorktown General George Washington coordinated with Marquis de Lafayette to block Cornwallis’ escape from Yorktown in September. Cornwallis surrendered on October 19, 1781 (or sent a lackey to surrender since he was embarrassed.) This was the beginning of the end for the British in the War for Independence.

I am grateful for George Washington's leadership during the War for Independence and the Foundation of our Republic.
