Full text from the video
General Cornwallis walked right into the biggest trap of the American Revolution.
He parked his army at Yorktown thinking the British Navy had his back, but he was dead
wrong. George Washington pulled a massive bluff, pretending to attack
New York while secretly marching 400 miles south with the French army. At the exact same
time, the French Navy blocked the bay, cutting off all supplies.
Cornwallis was totally surrounded by land and sea with zero escape route. When he finally
surrendered, the British band literally played a song called The World Turned Upside
Down because they couldn't believe they just lost the war.
