TEXT:It signals a sailor who picks up the message and takes it to Washington. Washington moves troops towards New York, threatening the city, forcing the British fleet to stay put in New York Harbor. The French fleet sails out of danger. It will play a critical role in the next stage of the war. Now, with a spy network and a modern army backed by French naval power, Washington is ready for a final showdown. Come on! October 1781. Six years into a war the British thought would last six months, the American Revolution comes to a head at Yorktown, Virginia. In trenches around the fortified city, Plumb Martin, now a sergeant, waits with 8,000 other Patriot soldiers for the signal to attack. Washington's army has reinvented itself...with sharpshooters...Left! with training, discipline and new weapons...and with a spy network that has saved the French fleet, giving the Rebels dominance at sea. What remains of the British Army is under siege in Yorktown. Trapped in the city, the redcoats wait for reinforcements, but back in Britain, the war is unpopular and costing far too much money. This is a case of hanging on in the face of the-- the British actions long enough to where the British literally would grow weary of this and realize that it was endless. This is Washington's chance to end the w ar with one decisive blow. He committed to this idea of being able to stand on your own. See, America is a dream, and the only way to go get that dream is to show up and bring your very best to that moment and not stop until you bring that dream into exist ence. Plumb Martin will be one of the first over the top. Godspeed. How are you doing, my friend? Good, how are you? I better check it out. Behind Yorktown's defenses, 9,000 battle-hardened British troops are waiting. They're protected by a series of outlying cannon forts called redoubts. By October 14th, just two remain. If they're captured and their guns turned on Yorktown, the British will be forced to surrender.
