Surrender Field
On October 19, 1781, British forces under the command of Lieutenant General Lord Corwallis surrendered to a combined force of American and French troops led by General George Washington at Yorktown, Virginia, after a three week siege of the town. This surrender effectively ended the American Revolutionary War, and assured the Independence of the Unites States. Today the battlefield and surrender grounds are administered by Colonial National Historic Park.

View On Black After hours of trying to find inspiration, I gave up and starting scoffing love hearts....that is until I found this! Genius, really sums up how I was feeling!
The house in the foreground did not exist during the siege, but it marks the location where the Union and Confederate commanders met between the lines to discuss surrender terms in July 1863.
