The surrender of Cornwallis at York
towif practically ended the war for Amer
ican independence, and as there was no
event in that war which had a greater
influence upon the destinies of this peo
! pie, so there was none more dramatic in
its nature, or most significant of the
I .which American indepen
'croncA wrt won. Cnrioualv enough the
campaign which ended at Yorktawn iK
lustrated every phase of the conflict, and
' Its history is a sort ol epitome of.the story
oi the Revolntion.
The Brittifth under Provost gained a
• foothold at Savannah, as thoy did eveiy
where daring the Revolution, by Regular
' methods, overcoming the irregular
American opposition without difficulty.
! ' When they advanced northward, how
ever, the irregular opposition under Lin
coln gare them greater trouble
go, and on Jame's islands,
and for a time they were baffled at
Charleston. When Clinton substituted
siege for desultory warfare," as he could
.the American opposition was again in
effective, as it always was in such cir
cumstances, and Charleston and George
town fell into the eoemrs hands,
fn' The advance ol the British inland next
ehcoantered American opposition ol mo
ment at Camden. There Gates made
the great mistake of the revolution. Ar«
rogantly neglecting the lesson which
every event ol tbe war had tanght, he led
his army ol volunteers as if it had been an
army ol regular troops, giving the Brit-
ish the regular battle in which they were
vtways superior to the Americaus. •He
was beaten utterly, and his army was
broken and dispersed.
4 I ' y oheti earner Nathaniel Greene, cl Rhode
Island- alter Washington the ablost and
in the patriot army—
charged wlthfthe task of opposing the
victories British, without an armv,with
out money, provisions officers or men.
Gathering tjie formers and such
troops as wore within reach, Green
eoritnaoted his march t*a to euootjU'age
the people and draw voluute*i> to his
standard, while recruiting the. health of
his men and collecting supplies. Greene
was A grand master ot the taotics which
won American liberty. He understood
the conditions otthe conflict and adapts
edhiß measures to tbem. His, mind was
too large for conventionalism.' He knew
that ih pitched battles tbe English must
-i always have the adVautage, and that a
campaign ol pitched battles must result
dfcaslrouly to the Americon cause. He
lought something like regular battles, it
, is trno, but hu.ehoae hiftown timea. and
places for tfoteg so, and lou«hi with • the
~ r understanding thafhe woald probably
be beaten, making his arrangements
lor wresting advantage from deleat.
Deliberately be set out to win a cam
paign, while losing the battles oi which
* it consisted. He fought and retired, and
fought again, so tuanceuvering as to keep
his enemy constantly upou a strain and
loonstantly baffled. He nowliere risked
the campaign upon a battle, but took care
'io retire from a lost action with strength
for marching and lighting again, in this
way,' while he could deteaj, the British,
he (bade 4t "Ititpo&dttle for them to crush
him. Men 11 white he was detaining tbesn
in the wilderness tff the Carolinas, en
tangling them iu a net trom which escape
grew constantly more ami more difficult,
' wearing them out With iparches And
*4i countermarches, while bis partisans, an
-4 der Marion and Sumpter. were picking
■ * to pieces tike British lines ol coinmuuicu-
Hon and worrying the spirit oat of
British Army by constant barrassiug,
Finaily iJqrnwallls, dospairing of an
opportunity t&'Criieh Greene, resumed
bis march northward, only to fall into the
trap which had been prepared for" hiui
during the time that Greene had galued
by detaiuing him, and Greeue Wa9 lett
11 free to reconquer the Caroiiuas.
How Cornwallis marched northward,
and was entrapped between tbe Ameri
■»i can Army and the French fldet. for the
approach of which Greene nud secured
* time, is a story known to every school
boy, and tbtre is certainly no .story in
OUr hixtorv worthier to be leiueinbored.

that arrangements are inuking tor the
