Revolutionary War: The Most Influential Events In History

There were many influential events in history. I researched each topic thoroughly and picked the one I felt was the most important. The sweet sixteen had many difficult choices to choose between. Between the battles of Yorktown and appomattox I choose the battle of Yorktown. I choose Yorktown over Appomattox because I feel like it was the start of our new country.
