How did the French contribute to the American victory at Yorktown?

The correct answer is "French ships blocked British supply ships, and French troops besieged the city.". Indeed, both the French and American armies were met near New York during the summer of 1781. American troops amounted to 8000 regular soldiers and 3100 militia but they had no warships whatsoever. These was very dangerous since British ships could always bring more troops and supplies with their navy and fire on coastal positions occupied by the rebels. The French brought in about 8200 regular soldiers plus 29 warships. This influx of men, materiel, money and ships was especially invaluable for the Americans as they gave them a clear numeric superiority over the British forces. The French navy blocked the coastline, preventing British General Cornwallis from escaping to fight another day. French and American troops besieged Yorktown together until October 17th, 1781, when Cornwallis and his army surrendered  to the Americans.

1. Hamilton's critics claimed that his scheme would provide enormous profits to speculators who had bought bonds from Revolutionary War veterans for as little as 10 or 15 cents on the dollar. For six months, a bitter debate raged in Congress, until James Madison and Thomas Jefferson engineered a compromise.


2. Southerners opposed this plan because many of the Southern states had already paid off their war debts.
