In May 1781 Gen. Charles Lord Cornwallis moved his army into Virginia from North Carolina after an arduous and costly southern campaign. He was told to establish a naval base somewhere in the lower Chesapeake Bay area. Gen. George Washington moved the Allied Army, consisting of his own forces near New York City and a French army under Gen. Rochambeau, in Rhode Island, to Virginia to attack Cornwallis by land and with a French fleet blocking the Chesapeake Bay. On 09/28/1781 The Allied Army arrived at Yorktown, VA and on 10/06/1781 they started the first siege line and 3 days later started the bombarding of the British. On 10/19/1781 Cornwallis formally surrendered his army. The picture is of the Grand French Battery.
