VICTORY AT YORKTOWN:
October 19, 1781


Hopelessly trapped at Yorktown, Virginia, British General Lord Cornwallis surrenders 8,000 British soldiers and seamen to a larger Franco-American force, effectively bringing an end to the American Revolution.

7. See THAT's what I am talking about

The woman who cuts my hair is French and all the old business boys in Richmond sit in the barbershop and give her a hard time (Fox News is on the TV) so I told her, back when the French bashing was at its height, about Yorktown. The next month she said she had been throwing right back in their faces.

8. Good for her!

I tell anti-French people about that all the time. It's amazing how black and white things are when one is uneducated!
