The British Empire didn’t lose often. But at Yorktown, a young, outnumbered nation made them surrender. It wasn’t just muskets and cannons—it was coordination between Washington’s Continental Army and the French fleet, cutting off British escape. It was farmers, blacksmiths, and merchants turned soldiers, holding the line until the last push. That victory didn’t just end a battle. It ended a war. And it told the world that America wasn’t a rebellion—it was a nation, here to stay. #Military #AmericanHistory #RevolutionaryWar
