Yorktown had its own Tea Party
in 1774, during which two half-chests
of tea imported by John Prentis &
Company of Williamsburg were
thrown into the York River.
|
|
| On February 6, 1778, a treaty was signed making France an ally with America in the American Revolution. News of the alliance reached Virginia in May. |
|
| Although Benedict Arnold did not openly join the British until September 1780, he began secret negotiations with them more than a year earlier, in May 1779. |
