America Is Born!

Victory For Liberty!

           America has finally been hatched from its egg as it has been hibernating for a long time! Now that the victory has gone to the colonies America can make its way to become a true independent country. Though many of you have been dying to ask the question of how did the colonies overcome the powerful army of the British? There are many people that had a hand in the war which are unknown to you. The most pressing part of the war was the ultimate defeat against the British in which George Washington’s well trained continental army of 16,000 patriots wore down the largest British army in America in the “Battle of Yorktown”. George Washington took the city of Yorktown, Virginia under siege for a long time before British general Cornwallis surrendered. The war had almost completely come to the end in America’s favor. So finally John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and other delegates began peace negotiations which would be approved to 2 years after the “Battle of Yorktown.” Thus in 1783 the Treaty of Paris finally came to the conclusion that America is an Independent country. The treaty of Paris entitles the United States to extend its border all the way to the great lakes or 31 degrees north latitude and it allowed the Americans to have the right to trade with people west of their border. After many lives have been lost America has accomplished its long time destiny: Liberty!
