Yorktown 1781, The
World Turned Upside Down by Brendan Morrissey
By 1781 Britain's struggle to contain rebels in her American
colonies had reached an inglorious stalemate. Six years on from the
British defeat by the New England militia at Boston, George Washington's
rebuilt Continental Army - with support from the French - now
systematically began to seek out and destroy British forces even if
protected by seemingly impregnable defences. Yorktown would be a salutary
lesson to the British Crown about the odds she now faced in holding onto
her colonies.
