Liberty

On this day in 1781 Lord Cornwallis surrendered at


Yorktown to the combined French & American


Revolutionary forces under Genl. Washington.


It was the beginning of the great American republic



that lasted eighty years. When the British troops



left their trenches to stack arms, their bands



played "The World Turned Upside Down." General



Washington ordered worship services of thanksgiving



to God for his army.
