In a fight that lasted about an hour and resulted in heavy casualties for both sides, 3,000 Patriots engaged 1,000 Tories. Except for the commander, of the Tories, every man was a native born American. When the Tory leader, British Major Patrick Ferguson was killed his men surrendered. 1781 WAS THE year of decision. General Nathaneal Greene replaced Gates as commander of the American forces in the south.

Lee, also began regular nuisance probes against the British in eastern Virginia. General Clinton, in New York, sent down 1,500 troops to strengthen the Yorktown garrison. For 2 months Cornwallis chased Greene and Morgan through the hills of Virginia and South Carolina until, on March 15, Morgan turned and fought at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, which ended in a British victory at a cost of nearly a quarter of their men. Later, at the battle of Cow-pen- s, South Carolina, Morgan defeated an enemy cavalry unit under General Tarleton in a furious engagement that cost Tarleton 110 killed and 700 captured. Cornwallis broke off the chase and turned toward his redoubt at Yorktown with General Greene at his heels.

Upon clearing the estuary ne encountered 2 combined British fleets under Admirals Samuel Hood and Thomas Graves arriving from New York with supplies for Cornwallis, and to help him secure his coastline. The naval battle that followed terminated in defeat for both Hood and Graves. They regrouped their battered convoys and sailed back toward New York. During the fight another French fleet under Admiral Barras had slipped into the bay with a great quantity of supplies and munitions for the combined American and French forces. De Grasse then returned and arrayed his warships in a blockade line across the bay between Yorktown and the sea. For Cornwallis all hope of reinforcement, or escape by sea had vanished.
