Answer: A
You can eliminate D, since there was no "stolen treasure."
You can eliminate C, since the French mainly helped the Americans because Britain was their enemy.
You can eliminate B, since the colonies were not split in half during this battle.
<u>REASONING:</u>
The answer is A because Cornwallis' troops were blocked by the French naval fleet. The British troops were trapped and were constantly bombarded by Washington's troops. Soon, Cornwallis surrendered, giving victory to the Americans.
