Presentation Transcript

  1. Going South! • With the help of Allies, like the French, and other Europeans, the war in the Northern part of the colonies was pretty much over…

  2. Going South! • The British decided to change their strategy…again! • The British hoped that thousands of loyalists living in the area would help the British.

  3. Going South! • Instead, American soldiers used hit & run tactics against the British—preventing British victories. • The British get tired of this and seek some rest at a small port town called Yorktown.

  4. Going South! • The French and the Americans surround the British and pummel them for days, until British surrender.

  5. Victory! • The Americans win, but the cost of victory is high. • 6,200 killed in battle • 8,500 died as prisoners • 10,000 die of disease • As a percentage, more Americans die during the Revolution than any other war, except the Civil War.
