Yorktown

Another surrender. The story here was familiar because it was similar to the story at Appomattox Courthouse. Here, instead of a surrender to end the Civil War, this surrender helped end the Revolutionary War.

And again, the writing of terms for the surrender occurred in a family home.

And the surrender of arms takes place on at Surrender Field. 

The British were sad. The Americans were happy. A new republic was now free to be.
