It was necessary for American and French forces to surround Yorktown and Gloucester Point across the York River where on September 28th, 1781, 17,000 joined Continental and French troops that were jointly commanded; on land by General <em>George Washington</em>, and French Lieutenant General <em>Count de Rochambeau</em>; and at sea by French Admiral <em>Count de Grasse</em>. They arrived and surrounded the British General Charles Cornwallis’ camp at Yorktown and began its siege. The action took place in Gloucester, Virginia, across the York River from British-occupied Yorktown, which was under Patriot siege. The patriot victory at Yorktown effectively ended fighting in the American colonies resulting to peace negotiations between 1782, and September 3, 1783, where the Treaty of Paris was signed to formally recognize the United States as a free and independent nation after eight years of war.

Answer:
<em>After the civil war was over slavery was abolished and the lives of Afro-Americans in the south began to change.</em>
Explanation:
By the thirteenth amendment (1865), slavery was abolished in the US. During the period of slavery the Afro-Americans were denied education, legal marriage and suffered brutalities. Abolition of slavery meant freedom from the long oppression.
Even after the abolition of slavery the lives of Afro-Americans didn’t quite improve. After slavery the states across the south introduced ‘black laws’. This gave rights like legal marriage, property ownership etc but they were also denied several rights. The black code prevented Afro-Americans from serving as juries, testifying against a white man or serving in state militia.
