  2. I liked the use of different colors to highlight certain information. I appreciate the casualty count and the detailed yet clear description of the historical implications of this battle. if this british loss caused public support for the war to dissipate and the war to end, why was the Treaty of Paris signed 2 years later?

  3. I appreciate that you wrote the causalities and the effects this battle had in the war. This battle contributed to the colonists' cause because it resulted in the London citizens tiring of the war and their support to dissolve which eventually led to the end of the war.

  4. I appreciate how each of the casualties were included, as well as the importance of the battle itself. I would have liked to see what conditions affected the success the Continental Army. This is clearly a success for America in its push for independence, as this was the last straw for Britain.

  5. I like the use of proper nouns to give more historical context. I would have liked to have seen some of the reasons why the British held Yorktown for almost a month before their surrender. This seems like the last major confrontation between Patriots and the British before the Treaty of Paris.

  6. I appreciate that a map was added to give a better visual of the battle. I would have liked to see the number of troops of each side. This battle was like the last major victory that the Patriots achieved before the end of the war.
