Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C In short even though some individual slaveowners grew rich and some family fortunes were founded on the exploitation of slaves that is very different from saying that the whole society or even its non-slave population as a whole was more economically advanced than it would have been in the absence of slavery What this means is that whether employed as domestic servants or producing crops or other goods millions suffered exploitation and dehumanization for no higher purpose than the...aggrandizement of slaveowners. . By late September Patriot-French forces completely surrounded Yorktown trapped the British army and prevented British reinforcements from Clinton in the North while the French Navy was victorious at the Battle of the Chesapeake the final American offensive was begun with a shot fired by Washington the siege ended with a British surrender on October 19 1781; over 7,000 British soldiers were captured in the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War. Washington negotiated the terms of surrender for two days and the official signing ceremony took place on October 19; Cornwallis in fact claimed illness and was absent sending General Charles O'Hara as his proxy. As a gesture of goodwill Washington held a dinner for the American French and British generals all of whom fraternized on friendly terms and identified with one another as members of the same professional military caste.

Washington was in command of an army of 7,800 Frenchmen 3,100 militia and 8,000 Continentals Lacking in experience in siege warfare Washington often deferred judgment to Rochambeau effectively putting him in command however Rochambeau never challenged Washington's authority. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney South Carolina 1 Yes, At the beginning of the war Washington's only defense was one old fort (Fort Washington 12 miles (19 km) away to the south) and the Union Army soldiers themselves. When Maj Gen George B McClellan assumed command of the Department of the Potomac on August 17 1861 he became responsible for the capital's defense. McClellan began by laying out lines for a complete ring of entrenchments and fortifications that would cover 33 miles (53 km) of land He built enclosed forts on high hills around the city and placed well-protected batteries of field artillery in the gaps between these forts, augmenting the 88 guns already placed on the defensive line facing Virginia and south in between these batteries interconnected rifle pits were dug allowing highly effective co-operative fire. This layout once complete would make the city one of the most heavily defended locations in the world and almost unassailable by nearly any number of men.
