Sound the retreat.
8:02:15
Sound...
8:02:18
...retreat.
8:02:37
Dear Charlotte:
8:02:39
The warhas turned.
8:02:41
General Cornwallis took flight
with his army and moved north.
8:02:45
We continued to engage the British,
and in the following months...
8:02:48
...Cornwallis entrenched himself
at Yorktown, Virginia.
8:02:51
Washington escaped from the north...
8:02:55
...and surrounded Cornwallis,
who could not retreat to the seas.
8:02:59
It was blocked offby
ourlong-lost friends...
8:03:02
...who had finally arrived.
8:03:09
Vive la France.
8:03:13
Vive la liberté.
8:03:27
My lord, I beseech you.
8:03:29
You must order the surrender.
8:03:33
How could it come to this?
An army of rabble.
8:03:36
Peasants.
8:03:40
Everything will change.
8:03:45
Everything has changed.
8:03:48
Though he eventually surrendered...
8:03:50
...Cornwallis himselfhid in shame...
8:03:53
...appointing his subordinate to
relinquish his sword.
8:03:58
With the war ending,
and ourmilitia disbanding...
