RE: Today in History: Cornwallis surrenders Yorktown, effectively ending American Revolutionary War

in #history5 years ago (edited)

That was a great post! I have heard bits and pieces about this before but never really knew how it went down.

It makes me think about how horrible it must be to be engaged in war. Especially against people who are basically the same as you. Not to mention how up close and personal battle was back then.

Well, I mean, it still is today, but even more so back then. Can you imagine shooting back and forth with inaccurate rifles, missing and staring eachother right in the eyes... It gives me anxiety just imagining.

Sort:  

not to mention once the bayonets came into play. yikes.

Exactly! Talk about PTSD..
